Signal Selection Based on Affinity Propagation Clustering Method for Signals of Opportunity Navigation

Lei Zheng, Jun Zhang and Rui Xue

Abstract:	In the complex low airspace embraced by mountains or buildings, Global Positioning System can’t take action because navigation signals are easily shaded by barriers. The shortfalls for GPS should be called the ‘navigation gap’. In this paper, signals in space are seen as signals of opportunity (SOOP) for navigation to fill this navigation gap. For the types of SOOP are various, signal selection should be needed. Through the affinity propagation clustering method, SOOP can be divided into groups in this paper. Consequently, SOOP will be chosen based on navigation requirements.
