1     Definition

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Data for a constellation of satellites that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers to determine their location.

2       Functional Requirements

GNSS Data can come from four GNSSs – GPS (US), GLONASS (RU), Galileo (EU), BeiDou (CN) and two regional systems – QZSS (Japan) and IRNSS or NavIC (India). Position accuracy depends on the GNSS system.

5       Data Formats

Some data formats are:

  1. GPS Exchange Format (GPX): an XML schema providing a common GPS data format that can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes.
  2. Environment Geodetic System (WGS): definition of the coordinate system’s fundamental and derived constants, the ellipsoidal (normal) Earth Gravitational Model (EGM), a description of the associated Environment Magnetic Model (WMM), and a current list of local datum transfor­mations.
  3. International GNSS Service (IGS) SSR: format used to disseminate real-time products to support the IGS (igs.org) Real-Time Service. The messages support multi-GNSS and include corrections for orbits, clocks, DCBs, phase-biases and ionospheric delays. Extensions are planned to also cover satellite attitude, phase centre offsets and variations and group delay variations.

6       To Respondents

Respondents are requested to:

  1. Comment on the functional requirements.
  2. Propose Data Formats and Attributes for use in the future Technical Specification: Data Types, Formats, and Attributes (MPAI-TFA).
