Abstract:
Experts and scholars from various nations have proposed studying low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite signals as the space-based signals of opportunity (SOPs) for navigation and positioning. This method serves as a robust alternative in environments where global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are unavailable or compromised, providing users with high-precision, anti-interference, secure, and dependable backup navigation solutions. The rapid evolution of LEO communication constellations has spurred the development of SOPs positioning technology using LEO satellites. However, this has also led to a substantial increase in the number of LEO satellites, thereby reintroducing the traditional challenge of satellite selection. This research thoroughly examines three critical factors affecting positioning accuracy: satellite observable time, satellite elevation, and position dilution of precision (PDOP). It introduces a strategic approach for selecting satellites in LEO SOPs navigation and positioning. Simulation outcomes confirm that this satellite selection strategy effectively identifies visible satellites, ensuring precise positioning through LEO SOPs.
