GNSS augmentation
open-in-new
<p>Augmentation of a <a href="/facts/Global_navigation_satellite_system/lVgPlF5v">global navigation satellite system</a> (GNSS) is a method of improving the navigation system's attributes, such as precision, reliability, and availability, through the integration of external information into the calculation process. There are many such systems in place, and they are generally named or described based on how the GNSS sensor receives the external information. Some systems transmit additional information about sources of error (such as <a href="/facts/Clock_drift/IJMwbUCh">clock drift</a>, <a href="/facts/Ephemeris/vjQCBG29">ephemeris</a>, or <a href="/facts/Ionospheric_delay/z6putj1j">ionospheric delay</a>), others provide direct measurements of how much the signal was off in the past, while a third group provides additional vehicle information to be integrated in the calculation process. </p>
