Abstract

To solve the problem of location services in harsh environments, we propose an integrated navigation algorithm based on broadband low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite communication and navigation integration with 3-satellite alternate switch ranging. First, we describe the algorithm principle and processing flow in detail; next, we analyze and model the ranging error source and propose a combined multipath and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error analysis model, which avoids discussing the complex multipath number of paths and its modeling process; in addition, we also propose a multimodal Gaussian noise-based interference model and analyze and model the LEO satellite orbital disturbance. The final simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can not only effectively overcome inertial navigation system (INS) divergence, but also achieve high positioning accuracy, especially when continuous ranging values are used. It can still ensure good anti-interference performance and robustness in terms of path and noise interference and by alternately switching ranging, there are other potential advantages. Compared to some of the existing representative advanced algorithms, it has higher accuracy, stronger stability and lower cost. Furthermore, it can be used as a location reference solution for real-time location services and life search and rescue in harsh environments with incomplete visual satellites and can also be used as a technical reference design solution for the future integration of communication and navigation (ICN).
