Abstract

Cycle slips are a common error source in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) carrier phase measurements. In this paper, the cycle slip problem is approached using Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) methodology. Carrier phase measurements are used here in a single-receiver time-differential positioning method where integer ambiguities are canceled, but any cycle slips remain. The performance of the method was assessed by comparing the detection results to a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) solution and by manual data examination. Postprocessing results obtained using authentic Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements logged by low-cost single-frequency receivers show that the method is able to reliably detect and identify single errors but fails in an exemplary multiple outlier scenario. As no reference receiver is needed, the method is a potential means to produce cycle-slip-corrected data usable in any postprocessing application.
