Introduction to GAGAN & GAGAN Enabled Receiver By Vineet Gera Airports Authority of India GAGAN

GNSS A worldwide position and time determination system that includes one or more satellite constellations, aircraft receivers and system integrity monitoring, augmented as necessary to support the required navigation performance for the intended operation. Core Satellite Constellations Global Positioning System (GPS) Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) Future Galileo & COMPASS Navigation Satellite System GNSS Receiver Augmentation Systems GNSS Elements

GNSS Signal-in-Space Requirements Accuracy – The difference between the estimated and actual aircraft position Integrity – A measure of the trust which can be placed in the correctness of the information supplied by the total system. Integrity includes the ability of a system to provide timely and valid warnings to the user (alerts). Continuity – The capability of the system to perform its function without unscheduled interruptions during the intended operation. Availability – The portion of time during which the system is simultaneously delivering the required accuracy, integrity and continuity GAGAN

Augmentation ? and Why Needed Augmentation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a method of improving the navigation system's attributes, such as accuracy, reliability, and availability, through the integration of external information into the calculation process. Standalone GPS can not meet requirements of all phases of flight Integrity is not guaranteed All satellites are not monitored all the time Time to alert could be minutes to hours No indication of quality of service to the User. Accuracy is not sufficient even with SA off, the vertical accuracy for 95% of the time is >10m. Continuity and availability requirement shall be met. GAGAN

Augmentation Fundamental concept behind AUGMENTATION is Differential GPS. A technique for reducing the error in GPS-derived positions by using additional data from a reference GPS receiver at a known position. Two Forms Local Area Differential GPS User’s GPS Receiver receives Pseudorange corrections from a Reference receiver, generally located within line of sight. Corrections are lumped. Assumption is that the errors are common to User and Reference Receiver. Wide Area Differential GPS Corrections are determined based upon measurements from a network of Reference stations, distributed over a large geographical area. Separate corrections for specific error sources. GAGAN

Space Based Augmentation System SBAS is an overlay System, requires establishing of Ground Monitoring Stations Monitors all GPS/GEO satellites in view and collects measurement data. Master control station Processes data, received from monitoring stations Computes corrections & determines integrity. Controls and Monitors SBAS system Uplink station Uplinks corrections and integrity information to the geostationary satellite. Space segment Broadcasts correction and integrity information to user community. Additional ranging source. Robust Communication Network Stringent data transportation requirement with 99.999% availability. GAGAN

How GAGAN Works Ground 15 Indian Reference Stations (INRES) Two Indian Master Control Centre (INMCC) Three Indian Land Uplink Stations (INLUS) Space Two operational GEOs One In-orbit-spare User Civil Aviation Community Non-Civil Aviation Users Widely spread network of INRES track all the GPS satellites and SBAS GEO in view and forward all measurement data to Master control centre for further processing. Master control centre uses the measurement data from the reference stations to generate differential corrections and integrity messages for the designated service volume. These messages are transmitted through Indian Land Uplink stations to GAGAN GEO satellites. GEOs have common coverage GSAT-8/ 550 E, assigned PRN 127, Operational for Non-Safety-of-Life applications since Dec. 2011. GSAT-10/ 830 E, assigned PRN 128, currently undergoing integration with ground segment GSAT 15/93.5, Launch planned in 2015, will work as in-orbit-spare. User gets benefitted with improved positional accuracy and Integrity information

GAGAN Interoperability GAGAN has been designed to meet ICAO defined standards on SBAS. GAGAN is compatible to other SBASs in the world and promises to provide seamless navigation. GAGAN

GAGAN Enabled Receiver By Vineet Gera Airports Authority of India GAGAN

GAGAN Terminology in Vogue WAAS Capable WAAS Enabled Receiver can use SBAS services but the user must activate this function once only, or each time it starts up. WAAS Enabled Receiver activates SBAS reception by default. Some manufactures clearly specify WAAS / EGNOS / MSAS / GAGAN enabled, others just say WAAS Capable / WAAS Enabled. In general WAAS includes other SBAS systems too, but CAUTION “Clarify” from the supplier. GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 1/5 SBAS integrity is defined as the ability of the system to provide a timely warning to users when an individual correction or satellite should not be used for navigation. Components of Integrity Alarm condition Time-To-Alert (TTA) Hazardously Misleading Information (HMI) GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 2/5 Alarm Condition exists when any of the following occur: An active UDRE becomes invalid The user-calculated protection level using active data does not bound the actual position error from positions created from any set of satellites Data received from the satellite is insufficient to calculate corrections or integrity and to ensure that active data bounds the position error. GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 3/5 Alarm is Used to Alert User that: Corrections for a particular Satellite Have Changed; or Corrections Can Not Be Used Time to Alarm: Defined as the time period starting when an alarm condition occurs until the time the last bit of the first message in the alarm sequence arrives at the user’s antenna 10 seconds for ER/NPA 6.2 seconds for LNAV/VNAV GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 4/5 Probability of HMI For PA 10-7 / Approach (if Either or Both Occurs): Computed VPL* < Actual Vertical Navigation System Error for Period of Time  Time To Alarm Computed HPL* < Actual Radial Horizontal Navigation System Error for Period of Time  Time To Alarm For ER/NPA: Computed HPL < Actual Radial Horizontal Navigation System Error for Period of Time  Time To Alarm; 10-7/hour GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 5/5 SBAS User: Applies Fast Corrections, Long Term Corrections, and Ionospheric Corrections Calculates a Position Using GPS Range and Ephemeris Signals Uses UDRE and GIVE to Calculate a VPL and HPL, which define a “Protection Cylinder” Protection Cylinder Represents Uncertainty in the Calculated Position
