Abstract：The Real-Time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Precise Positioning Service (RTPPS) is recognized as the most promising system by providing precise satellite orbit and clock corrections for users to achieve centimeter-level positioning with a stand-alone receiver in real-time. Although the products are available with high accuracy almost all the time, they may occasionally suffer from unexpected significant biases, which consequently degrades the positioning performance. Therefore, quality monitoring at the system-level has become more and more crucial for providing a reliable GNSS service. In this paper, we propose a method for the monitoring of real-time satellite orbit and clock products using a monitoring station network based on the Quality Control (QC) theory. The satellites with possible biases are first detected based on the outliers identified by Precise Point Positioning (PPP) in the monitoring station network. Then, the corresponding orbit and clock parameters with temporal constraints are introduced and estimated through the sequential Least Square (LS) estimator and the corresponding Instantaneous User Range Errors (IUREs) can be determined. A quality indicator is calculated based on the IUREs in the monitoring network and compared with a pre-defined threshold. The quality monitoring method is experimentally evaluated by monitoring the real-time orbit and clock products generated by GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), Potsdam. The results confirm that the problematic satellites can be detected accurately and effectively with missed detection rate 4×10−6 and false alarm rate 1.2×10−5. Considering the quality alarms, the PPP results in terms of RMS of positioning differences with respect to the International GNSS Service (IGS) weekly solution in the north, east and up directions can be improved by 12%, 10% and 27%, respectively.
