Exploring Probabilistic Graphical Models in a GNSS Software Receiver

Xin Zhang and Xingqun Zhan

Abstract: A probabilistic graphical approach to the interpretation of the parameter and state estimation problems in a GNSS software receiver is proposed. This approach turns out to be universal since it can accommodate either a traditional software receiver with scalar tracking loop (STL) or one with a vector tracking loop (VTL). It even has the potential of being easily extended to a multi-sensor integration setting, which can be seen as an alternative solution to the general problems of All Source Positioning and Navigation (ASPN).
