Types of Global Positioning System Surveys

50
GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Errors in Global Positioning System

38
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

24
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

  • Mobile Communications
  • Network Engineering
  • Aerospace Logistics

Background:

  • Drone logistics increasingly rely on robust mobile networks.
  • Understanding network performance at varying altitudes is crucial for reliable drone operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze quantitative quality parameters of mobile communication networks for drone logistics.
  • To establish recommended Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for future drone communication systems.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental measurements of network parameters (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, UL/DL speeds, ping) using a drone at altitudes of 40-110m.
  • Analysis of data from a Latvian mobile operator's infrastructure.
  • Automatic switching between LTE standards for comprehensive analysis.

Main Results:

  • Identified critical network parameters: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR).
  • Determined optimal KPI values: RSRP at -100 dBm, RSRQ at -16 dB, SINR at -5 dB, downlink/uplink speeds at 4096 kbps, and ping at 50 ms.

Conclusions:

  • Established specific, quantitative KPI recommendations for mobile networks supporting controlled drone flights.
  • Advocated for the integration of these KPIs into network coverage digital twin (DT) models for enhanced planning and management.
