An Indoor DFEC Ranging Method for Homologous Base Station Based on GPS L1 and BeiDou B1 Signals

摘要

High-precision navigation and positioning technology for indoor areas has become one of the research hotspots in the current navigation field. However, due to the complexity of the indoor environment, this technology direction is also one of the research difficulties. At present, our common indoor positioning methods are WIFI, Bluetooth, LED, ultrasound and pseudo satellite. However, due to the problem of inaccurate direct or indirect ranging, the positioning accuracy is usually affected, which makes the final application difficult to achieve. In order to avoid the ranging limitations of the existing methods, a new dual-frequency entanglement constraint (DFEC) ranging method based on homologous base station is proposed in this paper. The relationship between the homologous characteristics of dual-frequency signals and the phase relationship within the cycle is used to estimate the current carrier phase adjustment the true value of the cycle count is used to get rid of the constraints of the ranging conditions and improve the ranging accuracy. In order to verify the feasibility of this method, the wired environment test and the typical characteristic points of wireless environment are tested and analyzed respectively. The analysis results show that in the wired environment, the transmitting base station and the receiving terminal will introduce a ranging error of one wavelength; in the wireless environment, due to the influence of spatial noise and multipath, the error of the estimation of the whole cycles of the ranging value increases significantly. And this phenomenon is most obvious especially in the region where the signal is shaded, but the error estimate that satisfies ± 1 wavelength still accounts for 90%. Based on this, we conduct multiple observation data collection at five typical feature points, and used existing MATLAB positioning algorithms to conduct positioning error tests. The analysis found that under this error condition, the positioning accuracy was about 0.6 m, and 93% of the points met the 1-m positioning accuracy.
