What is Precise Point Positioning (PPP)?

PPP is a positioning technique that removes or models GNSS system errors to provide a high level of position accuracy from a single receiver. A PPP solution depends on GNSS satellite clock and orbit corrections, generated from a network of global reference stations. Once the corrections are calculated, they are delivered to the end user via satellite or over the Internet. These corrections are used by the receiver, resulting in decimetre-level or better positioning with no base station required.

What is the accuracy of PPP?

PPP delivers accuracy up to 3 centimetres. A typical PPP solution requires a period of time to converge to decimetre accuracy in order to resolve any local biases such as the atmospheric conditions, multipath environment and satellite geometry. The actual accuracy achieved and the convergence time required is dependent on the quality of the corrections and how they are applied in the receiver. Similar in structure to an SBAS system, a PPP system provides corrections to a receiver to increase position accuracy. However, PPP systems typically provide a greater level of accuracy and charge a fee to access the corrections. PPP systems also allow a single correction stream to be used worldwide, while SBAS systems are regional. A typical PPP system is shown in Figure 43.

The main error sources for PPP are mitigated in following ways:

Dual-Frequency Operation: The first-order ionospheric delay is proportional to the carrier wave frequency. Therefore, the first-order ionospheric delay can totally be eliminated by using the combinations of dual-frequency GNSS measurements. External Error Correction Data: This includes satellite orbit and clock corrections. In the case of TerraStar service, the corrections generated are broadcast for end-users by Inmarsat telecommunication satellites. Modeling: The tropospheric delay is corrected using the UNB model developed by the University of New Brunswick. However, the wet part of tropospheric delay is highly varying and it cannot be modeled with sufficient accuracy. Thus, residual tropospheric delay is estimated when estimating position and other unknowns. Modeling is also used in the PPP receiver to correct the solid earth tides effect. PPP Filter Algorithms: An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used for the PPP estimation. Position, receiver clock error, tropospheric delay and carrier-phase ambiguities are estimated EKF states. EKF minimizes noise in the system and enables estimating position with centimetrelevel accuracy. The estimates for the EKF states are improved with successive GNSS measurements, until they converge to stable and accurate values. The typical convergence time of PPP to under 10 cm horizontal error is between 20 and 40 minutes, but it depends on the number of satellites available, satellite geometry, quality of the correction products, receiver multipath environment and atmospheric conditions. There are several providers of PPP services, including, VERIPOS, TerraStar, OmniSTAR and StarFire. PPP service providers operate a network of ground reference stations to collect correction data for the different signals broadcast by each satellite. The corrections calculated from this data are broadcast from geostationary satellites to the receivers of subscribed users. More information about PPP is also available in the Advanced GNSS Positioning Solution article in the 2014 Velocity magazine.

Who is the king of trap music?

T.I. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, arguably the home of original trap music, T.I. is often referred to as The King of Trap in the music world. His top-selling 2003 album, Trap Muzik, sold 10,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200.

In 2020 the genre trap music has a debatable definition. To some, it’s a subgenre of EDM that fuses dubstep and techno beats with Roland TR-808 drum samples, but to others, it’s a style of hip hop music that originated in the south during the late 1990s. The term trap itself is used to describe a place where drugs are sold, otherwise known as a trap house. Combining chopped and screwed instrumentals over 808s and synthesizers-infused beats with lyrics about slanging drugs, living in the hood, and attaining wealth, trap music was born. From Ghetto Mafia and Dungeon Family to T.I. and Gucci Mane, trap music is indisputably southern. Below we’ve gathered 20 of our favorite trap artists and the songs that put them on top of the trap game.
