It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a system for broadcasting navigation enhancement data provided in this embodiment is shown. For convenience of explanation, only the portions related to the present embodiment are shown.
The system for broadcasting navigation enhancement data of the embodiment mainly comprises: a plurality of navigation signal observers 100, at least two data processing centers 200, at least two earth stations 300, and at least two geosynchronous orbit satellites 400. It should be understood that the present embodiment does not limit the number of the navigation signal observation stations 100, the data processing centers 200, the earth stations 300, and the geosynchronous orbit satellites 400, and the number of the navigation signal observation stations 100, the number of the data processing centers 200, the number of the earth stations 300, and the number of the geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 may be multiple, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the navigation signal observation stations 100 may be I, the number of the data processing centers 200 may be N, the number of the earth stations 300 may be M, and the number of the geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 may be L, where I is a positive integer greater than or equal to 7, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and L is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
Specifically, each navigation signal observation station 100 acquires observation data and transmits the corresponding observation data to at least two data processing centers 200, that is, to each data processing center 200; each data processing center 200 then generates navigation enhancement data from the plurality of observation data and transmits the navigation enhancement data to each earth station 300; each earth station 300 generates an uplink signal from at least two pieces of the navigation enhancement data based on a preferred strategy and uplink the uplink signal to at least one geosynchronous orbit satellite 400; finally, each geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 processes the above-noted signal to obtain a navigation enhancement signal, and broadcasts the navigation enhancement signal to the users in the service area according to the user requirements in the service area, that is, the users in the service area can receive at least two navigation enhancement signals.
In practical application, the satellite-based augmentation system has a nearly rigorous requirement on the continuity of system services, and in the traditional broadcasting method, users in a service area can only receive 1 group of navigation augmentation data, so that the continuity of the system services has risks and possibly has the problem of service interruption, and once a fault occurs, the repair time is long, and the availability of the system is reduced.
In this embodiment, in order to reduce the risk of interruption of the navigation enhancement service, generally, 2 or more data processing centers 200 are built to generate 2 sets or more sets of navigation enhancement data, and 2 or more geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 are configured to broadcast the navigation enhancement signals at the same time, so that when one set of navigation enhancement data being broadcast has a problem, another set of navigation enhancement data can be quickly started and switched to be broadcast, the average time without failure of the system is increased, the time for recovery from the failure interruption is shortened, and the continuity of the system service is ensured.
Illustratively, I satellite navigation signal observation stations 100 are deployed in a service area and a peripheral preset area, the observation stations generate observation data and transmit the observation data to N data processing centers 200, and the N data processing centers 200 respectively generate navigation enhancement data with the same service performance by using the observation data sent by the observation stations and transmit the navigation enhancement data to M earth stations 300; the M earth stations 300 then receive the navigation enhancement data from the N data processing centers 200, where the navigation enhancement data may include the satellite ephemeris correction parameters, the satellite clock correction parameters, the ionospheric correction numbers, and corresponding integrity information, etc. generated by each data processing center 200 and to be broadcast.
The M earth stations 300 convert the navigation enhancement data into an uplink signal, and respectively uplink N groups of navigation enhancement data to the L geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 according to an optimal strategy; the L geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 generate navigation enhancement signals through on-satellite processing, and broadcast the navigation enhancement signals facing the same service area; users in the service area can simultaneously receive the navigation enhancement data generated by at least 2 groups of different data processing centers 200, so that the interruption of the broadcasting of the navigation enhancement data caused by the fault of a single or partial data processing center 200 is avoided, and the service continuity risk of the navigation enhancement system is reduced.
Optionally, at least 7 navigation signal observation stations 100 are deployed in the service area and a preset area around the service area, so that accurate and complete data can be observed, and at least 7 navigation signal observation stations 100 transmit corresponding observation data to at least two data processing centers 200 at the same time, thereby reducing occurrence of time delay and ensuring that each data processing center 200 receives data at the same time. Further, the observation data of the present embodiment may include, but is not limited to, the following information: satellite pseudoranges, carrier phases, doppler information, signal-to-noise ratios, and signal correlation values.
Optionally, each data processing center 200 receives observation data of each observation station, and independently resolves and generates navigation enhancement data, the navigation enhancement data generated by each data processing center 200 has navigation enhancement service performance of the same level, and all the data processing centers 200 transmit corresponding navigation enhancement data to each earth station 300 at the same time, so as to reduce occurrence of time delay and ensure that each earth station 300 receives data at the same time. Further, the navigation enhancement data of the present embodiment may include, but is not limited to, the following information: satellite ephemeris data, satellite clock data, ionosphere correction data, and corresponding integrity information.
Further, each earth station 300 is specifically configured to:
the navigation enhancement data for each data processing center 200 is received.
The navigation enhancement data to be transmitted is selected among the at least two navigation enhancement data according to a preferred strategy, and at least one geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 to be communicated is selected among the at least two geosynchronous orbit satellites 400.
And converting the navigation enhancement data to be transmitted into an upward injection signal, and injecting the upward injection signal to the geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 to be communicated.
Each earth station 300 receives the navigation enhancement data of each data processing center 200, selects the navigation enhancement data and the geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 according to a preferred strategy, converts the selected navigation enhancement data into an upcast signal, and upcasts the selected geosynchronous orbit satellite 400. Optionally, the earth station 300 may annotate the navigation enhancement data to 1 or multiple geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 at the same time, or may wait for the navigation enhancement data annotating service to be temporarily not implemented, thereby saving the broadcasting resources of the satellites.
Optionally, the preferred policy of this embodiment may include: selecting an earth station 300 for implementing the betting service, selecting navigational augmentation data, selecting a betting satellite, and measures in the event of a failure or an unsatisfactory requirement of the selected navigational augmentation data, a schematic diagram of a preferred strategy is shown within the dashed box of fig. 2. Specifically, the following steps are taken:
at least two earth stations 300 implement the navigation enhancement data upload service such that more than one of the M earth stations 300 uploads navigation enhancement data to the geosynchronous orbit satellite 400.
The navigation enhancement data selected by at least one earth station 300 implementing said upsell service is different from the navigation enhancement data selected by other earth stations 300 implementing said upsell service, so that the data selected by the earth stations 300 implementing the navigation enhancement data upsell service is not identical.
At least two earth stations 300 implementing said betting service must not communicate with the same geosynchronous orbit satellite 400, i.e. one earth station 300 implementing said betting service may be assigned to one betting satellite or to a plurality of betting satellites, but different earth stations 300 must not be assigned to the same betting satellite.
Further, when the navigation enhancement data to be transmitted fails or does not meet the preset use requirement, another piece of navigation enhancement data may be switched, or when the navigation enhancement data to be transmitted fails or does not meet the preset use requirement, the service of uploading the current earth station 300 is stopped, and other earth stations 300 implementing the service of uploading are switched to implement the service of uploading.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of the preferred strategy of this embodiment is specifically as follows:
in step S301, the earth station 300 that performs the betting service is selected from the M earth stations 300.
Step S302, judging whether the number of the earth stations 300 which are selected to implement the upper note service is more than or equal to 2, if so, executing step S303, otherwise, executing step S301 again.
Step S303, determining whether different earth stations 300 implementing the service of betting are betting on the same geosynchronous orbit satellite 400, if different earth stations 300 are betting on different satellites, executing step S304, otherwise, executing step S301 again.
Step S304, navigation enhancement data is selected for the earth station 300 implementing the top-note service.
In step S305, it is determined whether the navigation enhancement data selected by each earth station 300 are the same, and if they are different, step S306 is executed, and if they are the same, step S304 is executed.
Step S306, judging whether navigation enhancement data has faults or not, if no faults exist, finishing the implementation of the preferred strategy, otherwise, executing step S307.
In step S307, when it is detected that the navigation enhancement data has a failure, the failure data is discarded, and the process continues to step S308.
And step S308, judging whether the earth station 300 corresponding to the group of fault data on which the notes are applied needs to be replaced or not, if not, re-executing step S304, otherwise, re-executing step S301.
Assuming that the failures of each set of navigation enhancement data occur independently and the probabilities are the same as Pe, the mean time to failure of a single set of navigation enhancement data is T1 ═ 1/Pe, and when 2 different sets of navigation enhancement data are broadcast simultaneously, the mean time to failure is T2 ═ 1/Pe2, where Pe2 is the probability that two sets of navigation enhancement data fail simultaneously, and Pe < <1, therefore T2> T1, i.e. the mean time to failure of the system to broadcast 2 sets of navigation enhancement data simultaneously is much longer than the mean time to failure of the system to broadcast only a single set of navigation enhancement data.
In addition, if the navigation enhancement data being broadcast has a fault and another group of navigation enhancement data needs to be broadcast in a switching manner, the average repair time of the fault broadcast by the system adopting the traditional main-standby switching manner is t. Accordingly, in the system of this embodiment, since the system broadcasts at least two sets of navigation enhancement data simultaneously, when one set of navigation enhancement data fails and the broadcast of the set of navigation enhancement data is interrupted, since the navigation enhancement data of the other sets are still broadcast normally, the system can maintain continuous service to the user, that is, the average repair time equivalent to the system broadcast failure caused thereby is zero. Therefore, the average failure-free time is improved, and the average repair time is greatly shortened.
Illustratively, the satellite navigation signal observers 100 deployed in and around the service area generate observation data to be transmitted to two or more data processing centers 200, and the data processing centers 200 respectively generate navigation enhancement data with the same service performance by using the observation data to be transmitted to 2 or more earth stations 300. Then each earth station 300 selects the navigation enhancement data and the geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 according to a preferred strategy, one earth station 300 implementing the injection service can be allocated with one injection satellite or a plurality of injection satellites, but different earth stations 300 cannot be allocated with the same injection satellite, and the navigation enhancement data selected by at least one earth station 300 implementing the injection service is ensured to be different from the data selected by other earth stations 300 implementing the injection service, when the selected navigation enhancement data fails or does not meet the use requirement, the navigation enhancement data is switched, or the injection service is stopped to switch other earth stations 300 to implement the injection service. Finally, at least two geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 generate navigation enhancement signals through on-satellite processing, and the navigation enhancement signals are broadcasted facing a service area, so that users in the service area can simultaneously receive navigation enhancement data generated by at least 2 groups of different data processing centers 200, the interruption of the broadcasting of the navigation enhancement data caused by the fault of a single or partial data processing center 200 is avoided, and the continuity risk of the service of the navigation enhancement system is reduced.
Therefore, this embodiment is different from the conventional master/slave switching broadcast mode, in which N data processing centers 200 of this embodiment respectively generate navigation enhancement data with the same service performance and transmit the navigation enhancement data to M earth stations 300, the earth stations 300 convert the navigation enhancement data into an uplink signal, and uplink N sets of navigation enhancement data to L geosynchronous orbit satellites 400 respectively according to an optimal strategy, so that a user in a service area can simultaneously receive at least 2 sets of navigation enhancement data generated by different data processing centers 200.
The system for broadcasting the navigation enhancement data adopts a multiple satellite broadcasting mode, M earth stations 300 broadcast data from N groups of different data processing centers 200 to L satellites simultaneously, a user in a service area can receive two or more sets of navigation enhancement data simultaneously, when one set of navigation enhancement data is broadcasted temporarily due to a fault, the user can still use the other set of navigation enhancement data to realize the required navigation positioning performance, the service interruption caused by fault switching of the data processing centers or the earth stations is avoided, and after the fault is recovered, different sets of navigation enhancement data are still selected to be broadcasted, so that the continuity of system service is effectively improved, and the system availability is improved; and the navigation enhancement data, the earth station 300 and the geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 can be selected by using an optimal strategy, so that the average failure-free time is improved, the average repair time is greatly shortened, the users in the service area can receive at least two navigation enhancement signals, and the continuity risk of the system service is reduced.

step S401, at least two pieces of navigation enhancement data are acquired, and the navigation enhancement data are generated by the corresponding data processing center 200 according to the observation data of the plurality of navigation signal observation stations 100.
Step S402, based on the preferred strategy, generating an upper note signal according to at least two pieces of navigation enhancement data.
Step S403, the uplink signal is injected to at least one geosynchronous orbit satellite 400, so that each geosynchronous orbit satellite 400 processes the uplink signal to obtain a navigation enhancement signal, and broadcasts the navigation enhancement signal to the same service area, where the service area receives at least two navigation enhancement signals.
Optionally, the observation data includes, but is not limited to, the following information: satellite pseudoranges, carrier phases, doppler information, signal-to-noise ratios, and signal correlation values. The navigation enhancement data includes, but is not limited to, the following information: satellite ephemeris data, satellite clock data, ionosphere correction data, and corresponding integrity information.
