Precise low-latency gnss satellite clock estimation

Abstract

A wide-lane ambiguity and a respective satellite wide-lane bias are determined for the collected phase measurements for each satellite for assistance in narrow-lane ambiguity resolution. Satellite correction data is determined for each satellite in an orbit solution based on the collected raw phase and code measurements and determined orbital narrow-lane ambiguity and respective orbital satellite narrow-lane bias. A slow satellite clock correction is determined based on the satellite orbital correction data, the collected raw phase and code measurements, and clock narrow-lane ambiguity and respective satellite narrow-lane bias. A low latency clock module or data processor determines lower-latency satellite clock correction data or delta clock adjustment to the slow satellite clock based on freshly or recently updated measurements of the collected raw phase measurements that are more current than a plurality of previous measurements of the collected raw phase measurements used for the slow satellite clock correction to provide lower-latency clock correction data.
