Abstract
Compatibility and interoperability of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are becoming the main trend of future navigation. However, each navigation system has a time scale. When users positioning with not only one system, the time offset between them must be considered. There are several ways to acquire system time offsets. By adding unknown variables in the combined position equation to solve this variable is the commonly used way. For positioning with multi-constellations, system time offsets are some kind of burden which must be taken into account. This paper takes full use of the obtained offsets and proposes a new fault detection method for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM). Simulations are made to estimate the ability of this new method. This new method takes the high stability of system time offsets of GPS/Beidou system and applies it to assistant fault detection. This method has no additional requirements for navigation system and is fit for applied in receivers. It can be expected this method will be one means of RAIM for Beidou navigation system when integrated with other GNSS in future.
