Galileo Integrity Monitoring Network: Simulation and Optimization

Mathias van den Bossche, Christophe Bourga and Bruno Lobert

Abstract:	The Galileo integrity concept requires a monitoring station network to provide ranging measurements to the satellites. The Galileo system specification furthermore requires a level of monitoring performance that has a direct impact on the sensor station network design. This paper first sums up the Galileo integrity concept features and constraints relevant to the monitoring station network design. The method and tool to assess the performances of a given monitoring network and to optimize such a network are then presented. Results are finally shown to illustrate our methodology and how it is applied in the undergoing design of the Galileo Navigation System.
