Investigation of Doppler Measurements for Static Indoor Positioning

M.G. Petovello, J.T. Curran

Abstract: This paper develops a new 5-state algorithm for using GNSS Doppler measurements for computing static positions over extended time periods. Performance of the algorithm – as well as a traditional 4-state Doppler algorithm and 5-state code phase algorithm – is then assessed using covariance analysis and three 24-hour long data sets. Covariance results suggest that positioning accuracy with Doppler measurements is comparable with that of code phase measurements after about one hour. Real data analysis, however, suggests that the proposed algorithm suffers from solution availability, thus limiting its usefulness.
