Abstract:
Many GNSS applications have been experiencing some constantly growing needs in terms of security and reliability. To address some of them, both GPS and Galileo are proposing evolutions of their legacy civil signals, embedding features of authentication. This paper focuses on the Galileo Open Signal Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) and describes its implementation within a real-time software receiver for ARM-based embedded platforms. The innovative contributions of the paper include the software profiling analysis for the OSNMA add on, along with the comparison among performances obtained with different platforms. In addition, specific evaluations on the computational load of the whole receiver complete the analysis. The receiver used for the implementation belongs to the NGene receivers family-real-time fully-software GPS and Galileo receivers, tailored for different platforms and sharing the same core processing. In detail, the paper deals with the introduction of the OSNMA support inside the eNGene, the version of the receiver executable by ARM-based embedded platforms.
