Performance Analysis of GPS Integer Ambiguity Resolution Using External Aiding Information

The integer ambiguity should be resolved at the beginning stage of GPS carrier phase positioning. In this procedure, some additional information can be used to improve the ambiguity resolution performance, for example, the positioning information of INS/GPS integrated system and baseline constraint of two adjacent antennas. This improvement is well known by experiment or simulation. But the quantitative characteristic of the improvement is not known yet. In this paper, we analyse this improvement quantitatively using the success rate.
