Worst-Case Integrity Risk Sensitivity for RAIM with Constellation Modernization
Abstract
The integrity improvement of receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) can benefit from a combination of constellations. With the rapid development of constellation modernization, integrity parameters, including the probability of satellite fault (Psat) and user range accuracy (URA), have improved. The integrity loss of RAIM needs to be accurately characterized to control the effect of the improved integrity parameters. To reveal the sensitivity of integrity risk with respect to Psat and URA, a conservative integrity risk estimation method is proposed based on the worst-case protection concept. Acceptable Psat and URA were derived by comparing the estimated worst-case integrity risk with the required integrity risk. The simulation results showed that RAIM can meet the integrity risk requirement of LPV-200 when Psat was 10−4 and URA was smaller than 0.88 m.
