Network‐based ionospheric gradient monitoring to support GBAS

Abstract: Large ionospheric gradients acting between a Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) reference station and an aircraft on approach could lead to hazardous position errors if undetected. Current GBAS stations provide solutions against this threat that rely on the use of “worst‐case” conservative threat models, which could limit the availability of the system. This paper presents a methodology capable of detecting ionospheric gradients in real time and estimating the actual threat model parameters based on a net… Show more

“…One alternative is to separately monitor ionospheric gradients in real-time and broadcast integrity parameters according to the gradient conditions that they observe (as opposed to the worst possible conditions). A strategy along these lines has been proposed by Caamano et al (2021) using a network of monitoring receivers around a GBAS facility in Alaska and a complex algorithm to detect and estimate ionospheric gradients in real-time. The proposed method shows satisfactory results using simulated gradients.…”

“…In addition to degrading the accuracy of the solution, such scenarios can potentially pose an integrity risk if such is intended to be supported by the system/network. Another example of systems where the inability to observe a spatial gradient can be critical, is applications such as those proposed in [ 24 , 25 ], where a sparse network of monitoring stations at longer baselines surrounding a local high integrity system is used to assist the real-time ionospheric gradient threat monitoring process. Spatial decorrelation of the ionospheric delay during periods with anomalous activity is a topic area studied extensively with regard to the operation of high integrity GNSS augmentations such as the Ground-Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS).…”

“…Therefore, I adapted the methodology to overcome these issues and describe it throughout this chapter. The work included in this chapter was published in [92,93] as stated in Section 1.5. This chapter is structured as follows: Section 3.1 reviews current GBAS standards in order to find a solution that reduces current conservatism without having to change them, Section 3.2 introduces the "Network GBAS" concept in general terms, Section 3.3 provides the methods developed in this thesis to 55 3.1.…”
