Virtual Reference Stations for Centimeter-Level Kinematic Positioning

Lambert Wanninger

Abstract:	Advanced positioning techniques pre-process the observa- tions of regional reference station networks in order to pro- vide individual virtual reference station (VRS) observations. These virtual observations enable users to perform cm-level positioning in baseline mode, even with the real reference stations situated in distances of several 10 km. This paper extends the concept of static VRS to that of a semi-kinematic VRS to be used in such cases of kinematic positioning, when the rover receiver moves across long distances. Test data sets were used to evaluate the per- formance of this new kind of VRS. The results demon- strate its superiority to static VRS in large-scale kinematic applications.
