Abstract
An inter-system model for multi-GNSSs (global navigation satellite systems) makes the interoperability among different GNSS constellations possible. In recent years, inter-system models for geodetic receivers have been extensively studied. However, the precise positioning of smartphones suffers from various problems, and the current research mostly focuses on how to achieve the GNSS ambiguity resolution. Based on the research of receiver channel-dependent bias, in this study, we will research the temporal behaviors of differential inter-system bias (DISB) and implement an inter-system model for smartphones. A representative Huawei P40 (HP40) smartphone was used in the experiments, and the results show the following: (1) For the HP40, the frequencies of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems are free of receiver channel-dependent phase bias, which provides the chances for further interoperability among these systems. However, the code observations of the HP40 are influenced by receiver channel-dependent code bias; it is therefore suggested to set a large initial standard deviation (STD) value for code observations in the positioning. (2) GPS L1/QZSS L1 and BDS-2 B1I /BDS-3 B1I are free of phase DISB, and there is obvious phase DISB between GPS L1 and Galileo E1; even so, the valuations are sufficiently stable and the STD is close to 0.005 cycles. However, the phase DISB of GPS L1/BDS B1I is unstable. (3) For kinematic positioning, when the stable phase DISB is introduced, a 3–38.9% improvement in the N/E/U directions of the positioning accuracies in the inter-system differencing is achieved compared with the intra-system differencing.
