Abstract
For real-time precise positioning, IGS provides ephemeris predictions (IGS ultra-rapid, IGU) and real-time ephemeris estimates (real-time service, RTS). Due to the RTS data latency, which ranges from 5 s to 30 s, a short-term prediction process is necessary before applying the RTS corrections. In this paper, the real-time performance of the RTS correction and IGU prediction are compared. The RTS correction availability for the GPS satellites observed in Korea is computed as 99.3%. The RTS correction is applied to broadcast ephemeris to verify the accuracy of the RTS correction. The 3D orbit RMS error of the RTS correction is 0.043 m. Prediction of the RTS correction is modeled as a polynomial, and then the predicted value is compared with the IGU prediction value. The RTS orbit prediction accuracy is nearly equivalent to the IGU prediction, but RTS clock prediction performance is 0.13 m better than the IGU prediction.
