System and method for wireless collaborative verification of global navigation satellite system measurements

TLDR
In this article, the authors present a fault detection system for verifying the quality of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements, which includes a GNSS receiver, a wireless communications device, and a fault detector.
Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for verifying the quality of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements. The system includes a GNSS receiver, a wireless communications device, and a fault detection processor. The GNSS receiver includes a GNSS antenna for receiving signals from a plurality of global navigation satellites and a processor for calculating a ranging measurement for each of the global navigation satellites from the GNSS receiver to the global navigation satellite. The wireless communications device receives ranging measurements from at least one other GNSS receiver. The fault detection processor performs a fault detection algorithm to determine if there is an anomaly affecting the ranging measurements of the GNSS receiver and the at least one other GNSS receiver.
