Session 7. PRECISE POINT POSITIONING (PPP) 

Although more than 20 years old, precise point positioning is still considered a very advanced and demanding technique within satellite navigation due to its high precision and global coverage. Commercial service providers offer proven PPP solutions to support autonomous systems and are recently challenged by public services. The discussion of ongoing technological developments for PPP and a glimpse into what can be expected from PPP will help to understand the market in a better way and the PPP applications to come. Our considerations especially go to future technologies like inter-satellite-links or to supporting satellites in a low Earth orbit.

Session 8. GNSS-PROMOTED INTELLIGENCE IN MOBILITY IN CHINA

The applications of multi-constellation GNSS have improved the intelligent level of travel services in China. Innovation of GNSS accuracy, reliability, ubiquity and its integration with navigation information is constantly developing. GNSS have been continuously used to improve the digitalization level and AI application scenarios in the fields of urban mobility, aviation air traffic control and airport services, marine S&R and shipping. In this session four speeches about these innovated applications in urban/air/marine in China are going to be arranged, and relevant topics will be discussed with the participants after presentations.

Session 9. POSITIONING, NAVIGATION AND TIMING FROM LOW EARTH ORBIT

​The major success of GNSS results in an increased demand of performance and robustness by current and future users. In order to meet such demands, GNSS may be complemented by satellites in different orbits. In this context, a Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is able to provide a number of benefits contributing to seamless, reliable, resilient and accurate PNT services. This session will discuss the status and opportunities related to various international LEO PNT initiatives both with dedicated satellites/payloads or signals of opportunity.

Session 10. ALTERNATIVE POSITIONING; NAVIGATION AND TIMING (APNT)

Complementing space based PNT by terrestrial navigation signals increases the general PNT-resilience against jamming/spoofing and/or provides higher accuracy and availability in areas that are difficult to access for space borne signals. Efforts conducted by the mobile communications community (4G, 5G and beyond) will be discussed here, as well as developments of dedicated terrestrial navigation systems following the signal-of-opportunity (e.g. television broadcast signals) or Pseudolite concept (as an overlay to existing GNSS signals or within new frequency bands). The implications of those technologies for transportation are a core focus in this session.
