Validation SAPOS: Simulated RT • DATA (Map: www.sapos.de) • SAPOS Data of 290 stations • Various receiver types • 30 seconds sampling rate • Reference Network • Selected 22 reference stations • Inter-station distance 184 km • Others are user stations • Software • EPOS-RT
Results: Fixing Time (Lw+L1) • Lw+L1 can be fixed with 1 epoch data, On average 1.6 epochs, half of Lw (3 epochs) • LW+L1+ION.PAR can furthermore reduce the fixing time but slightly. Improvement found for cases where long fixing time needed.
Results: Position Accuracy Accuracy of the Positions at the first fixed epoch Using Lw+L1 • Lw+L1 8, 6 and 21 mm in ENU, the same as L1 7, 6, and 20 mm • Lw+L1+ION, slightly worse than Lw+L1, but fixing is improved
