GNSS Signal-in-Space Requirements1. Accuracy – The difference between the estimated and actual aircraft position
2. Integrity – A measure of the trust which can be placed in the correctness of the information supplied by the total system. Integrity includes the ability of a system to provide timely and valid warnings to the user (alerts).
3. Continuity – The capability of the system to perform its function without unscheduled interruptions during the intended operation.
4. Availability – The portion of time during which the system is simultaneously delivering the required accuracy, integrity and continuity

Augmentation ? and Why Needed
• Augmentation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a method of improving the navigation system's attributes, such as accuracy, reliability, and availability, through the integration of external information into the calculation process.
• Standalone GPS can not meet requirements of all phases of flight• Integrity is not guaranteed
• All satellites are not monitored all the time• Time to alert could be minutes to hours• No indication of quality of service to the User.
• Accuracy is not sufficient even with SA off, the vertical accuracy for 95% of the time is >10m.
• Continuity and availability requirement shall be met.

Augmentation • Fundamental concept behind AUGMENTATION is Differential GPS.
• A technique for reducing the error in GPS-derived positions by using additional data from a reference GPS receiver at a known position.
• Two Forms• Local Area Differential GPS
• User’s GPS Receiver receives Pseudorange corrections from a Reference receiver, generally located within line of sight.
• Corrections are lumped. Assumption is that the errors are common to User and Reference Receiver.
• Wide Area Differential GPS• Corrections are determined based upon measurements from a network of Reference
stations, distributed over a large geographical area.• Separate corrections for specific error sources.

• Monitors all GPS/GEO satellites in view and collects measurement data.• Master control station
• Processes data, received from monitoring stations• Computes corrections & determines integrity.• Controls and Monitors SBAS system
• Uplink station• Uplinks corrections and integrity information to the geostationary satellite.
• Space segment• Broadcasts correction and integrity information to user community.• Additional ranging source.

How GAGAN Works• Ground
– 15 Indian Reference Stations (INRES)– Two Indian Master Control Centre (INMCC)– Three Indian Land Uplink Stations (INLUS)
• Space
– Two operational GEOs– One In-orbit-spare
• User
– Civil Aviation Community– Non-Civil Aviation Users
o Widely spread network of INRES track all the GPS satellites and SBAS GEO in view and forward all measurement data to Master control centre for further processing. o Master control centre uses the measurement data from the reference stations to generate differential corrections and integrity messages for the designated service volume. o These messages are transmitted through Indian Land Uplink stations to GAGAN GEO satellites.
o GEOs have common coverageo GSAT-8/ 550 E, assigned PRN 127, Operational for Non-Safety-of-Life applications since Dec. 2011.o GSAT-10/ 830 E, assigned PRN 128, currently undergoing integration with ground segmento GSAT 15/93.5, Launch planned in 2015, will work as in-orbit-spare.
o User gets benefitted with improved positional accuracy and Integrity information
Interoperability
GAGAN has been designed to meet ICAO defined standards on SBAS. GAGAN is compatible to other SBASs in the world and promises to provide seamless navigation.

Terminology in Vogue
• WAAS Capable• Receiver can use SBAS services but the user must activate this function once
only, or each time it starts up.
• WAAS Enabled• Receiver activates SBAS reception by default.
• Some manufactures clearly specify WAAS / EGNOS / MSAS / GAGAN enabled, others just say WAAS Capable / WAAS Enabled.
• In general WAAS includes other SBAS systems too, but CAUTION “Clarify” from the supplier.

GAGAN In Operation
• What is available from GAGAN ?• GAGAN Message, comprising of
• Correction for each GPS satellite (in view)• Confidence Bounds (Integrity information),
• What SBAS receiver does with GAGAN Messages ?• Corrects the computed position, using corrections• Computes protection levels, using confidence bounds
• Protection level says that by how much the position in worst case could be Off , vertically and horizontally.
• XPE < XPL < XAL, safe navigation is assured with high level of confidence.

SBAS Integrity Requirement 1/5
• SBAS integrity is defined as the ability of the system to provide a timely warning to users when an individual correction or satellite should not be used for navigation.
• Components of Integrity• Alarm condition• Time-To-Alert (TTA)• Hazardously Misleading Information (HMI)
GAGAN
40
SBAS Integrity Requirement 2/5
• Alarm Condition exists when any of the following occur:
• An active UDRE becomes invalid• The user-calculated protection level using active data does not bound the
actual position error from positions created from any set of satellites• Data received from the satellite is insufficient to calculate corrections or
integrity and to ensure that active data bounds the position error.
GAGAN
41
SBAS Integrity Requirement 3/5
• Alarm is Used to Alert User that:• Corrections for a particular Satellite Have Changed; or• Corrections Can Not Be Used
• Time to Alarm: Defined as the time period starting when an alarm condition occurs until the time the last bit of the first message in the alarm sequence arrives at the user’s antenna
• 10 seconds for ER/NPA• 6.2 seconds for LNAV/VNAV
GAGAN
42
SBAS Integrity Requirement 4/5
• Probability of HMI• For PA 10-7 / Approach (if Either or Both Occurs):
• Computed VPL* < Actual Vertical Navigation System Error for Period of Time Time To Alarm
• Computed HPL* < Actual Radial Horizontal Navigation System Error for Period of Time Time To Alarm
• For ER/NPA: Computed HPL < Actual Radial Horizontal Navigation System Error for Period of Time Time To Alarm; 10-7/hour
GAGAN

SBAS Integrity Requirement 5/5
• SBAS User:• Applies Fast Corrections, Long Term Corrections, and Ionospheric Corrections • Calculates a Position Using GPS Range and Ephemeris Signals• Uses UDRE and GIVE to Calculate a VPL and HPL, which define a “Protection Cylinder”
• Protection Cylinder Represents Uncertainty in the Calculated Position
