    摘要: A positioning device includes a first GNSS receiver; a communication link configured to receive a spatial position, code measurements and carrier phase measurements of a second GNSS receiver; an input interface to a processing logic, the processing logic being configured to: calculate a position of the first positioning device from communicated data; and to estimate one or more parameters representative of multipath at the position of the first positioning device; wherein the communication link is configured to communicate to a second positioning device the parameters representative of multipath at the position of the first positioning device. Described developments comprise the use of multipath severity indicators, the determination of relative distances between receivers, validity conditions in time and/or space of multipath, various embodiments in a train or in a group of vehicles. Software aspects are discussed.

    摘要: A device for handling multipath of a G.N.S.S. signal, is configured to: determine a spatial position, a clock time and measured multipath parameters comprising a relative delay and relative amplitude; communicate to a remote server the spatial position, clock time and multipath parameters; and receive processed multipath parameters as determined by the remote server. Systems comprising a plurality of such devices and their variants are described. Further aspects are described, in particular the exclusion of one or more satellites, the use of threshold schemes, pull/push modes, configurable refresh rates, quantization of positions, activation of additional sensors, filtering options, determination of merit factors for example as a function of the number of satellites in view and/or of signal-to-noise ratio, peer-to-peer schemes, as well as graphical display, audible sound or haptic feedbacks.
