Accuracy, Reliability, Availability
Good Bad
Standard (single-base station) RTK• Depends on the ability of the algorithms to resolve the integer
ambiguities and to model the differential errors that occur between the
RS and the rover.
• To solve the ambiguity, many conditions must exist, including a relatively
short distance between RS and rover.

• Network-RTK’ approach, where the spatially correlated atmospheric and satellite orbit errors could be better mitigated using several continuously operating GPS reference stations surrounding the rover receiver.
• Rapid static and kinematic GPS techniques could be used over baselines that extend to tens of kilometers in length.
• Network based techniques enable cm-accuracy positioning with less dense reference stations

A CORS SITE
• Stable site (minimal local horizontal and vertica movement).
• Stable antenna mount.
• Minimum electromagnetic interference.
• Adequate security for equipment.
• Receiver and communications hub located inside a building
• Providing protection from weather and elements.
• Antenna located in a minimal Multipath environment.
• Continuous long-term operation
• Availability of power supplies and telecommunication
connection.
• DC from solar or a wind generation system.
• Communications solution depends on data requirement.
• Use of public Internet is generally preferred
Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS)
![Page 33: Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously Operating ...ainegypt.org/event/papers/Adel El Shazly - Potentials Of CORS for Riv… · Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071212/60245df5e24b0319e7082515/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Network RTK (NRTK) and CORS systemsCommunication method
Duplex (bi-directional) communication or one-direction communication with these technical aspects:• expected signal strength at different locations,• number of users,• range and coverage,• transmission bandwidth,• protocol,• reliability and error correction,• latency (one second and shorter data transmission
latencies are required for cm level positioning accuracy).
![Page 34: Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously Operating ...ainegypt.org/event/papers/Adel El Shazly - Potentials Of CORS for Riv… · Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071212/60245df5e24b0319e7082515/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Duplex communication mode is the mostly used method with:
• A cellular modem such as a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) are used.
• GPRS is usually preferred as it is more economical since the user pays for the data, not for the call duration.
• GPRS can provide a stable and reliable connection with latencies less than one second.
• Number of users is limited by the ability of the NRTK processing center to simultaneously perform calculations for all users.
• For a limited number of users this latency is usually less than three seconds.
Network RTK (NRTK) and CORS systemsCommunication method
![Page 35: Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously Operating ...ainegypt.org/event/papers/Adel El Shazly - Potentials Of CORS for Riv… · Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071212/60245df5e24b0319e7082515/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
One-direction communication method mainly employs VHF or UHF broadcasting or encodes the RTK corrections into a broadcast TV audio sub-carrier signal with:
• For VHF broadcasting, allocation of suitable broadcast radio frequency and obtaining its license for development of NRTK.
• No restriction on the number of users concurrently using the NRTK.
• High cost of the infrastructure needed to build radio signal repeaters, if needed, to cover the whole area.
• Some problems due to the possibility of receiving signals of varying strength in different locations, and possible frequency jamming.
• A mix of both communication methods is however possible.

![Page 36: Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously Operating ...ainegypt.org/event/papers/Adel El Shazly - Potentials Of CORS for Riv… · Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071212/60245df5e24b0319e7082515/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• The data transmission is mostly carried out via the Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (Ntrip).
• Ntrip is an open source and can be downloaded from the internet.
• Ntrip was built over the TCP/IP foundation and is an application–level protocol for streaming GNSS data over the internet.
• Ntrip uses HTTP and has three components: Ntrip Client, Server and Ntrip Caster.
• Ntrip is designed for distributing differential correction data (e.g. in the RTCM-SC104 format) or other kind of GNSS streaming data to stationary or mobile users over the internet.
• It allows simultaneous PC, Laptop, or receiver connections to a broadcasting host.
• Ntrip supports wireless internet access through mobile IP networks like GSM, GPRS.

ConclusionsTowards the implementation of proper River Nile Navigationsystem, It is required to:
1. Prepare bathymetric map for river Nile
2. Adopt maintenance system for the river Nile with continuousmeasurement of bed levels
3. Continuous monitoring for Rive Nile water surface along thenavigation way
4. Prepare electronic navigation chart to be the base for RiverInformation System
5. Establish Navigation Aids along the River Nile
6. Prepare the navigation ships or boats with suitable GNSSreceivers capable of define position with 1 to 3 m accuracy
![Page 65: Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously Operating ...ainegypt.org/event/papers/Adel El Shazly - Potentials Of CORS for Riv… · Potentials Of The National Egyptian Continuously](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071212/60245df5e24b0319e7082515/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• Based on the current GNSS positioning and the future situationfor supporting navigation activities it is necessary to mention:
1. The limited coverage and accuracy of EGNOS correction for GPSposition in Egypt is not suitable to support the navigationthrough River Nile.
2. With the implementation of more monitor stations in Africa forEGNOS system the accuracy for GNSS position with EGNOScorrection should be tested.
3. The GBAS service or radio Beacons corrections do not cover thenavigation water way of river Nile and require single frequencyreceiver capable of receiving correction in RTCM format.
4. Network RTK is ideal solution to define real time positions withcm accuracy or dm accuracy depends on the used rover receiver.

Conclusions5. CORS network ,with 40 stations, in Egypt Covers Delta and Nile
Valley with spacing 50- 70 km. Accordingly it covers the RiverNile up to Aswan.
6. No Coverage for the network in Eastern and Western deserts.
7. Currently, ESA operates the national Egyptian CORS to supportnon-navigation, in post-processing modes of GPS.
8. Working with Egyptian CORS in real time will strongly affect thenew development activities in Egypt.
9. ESA, along with other national Egyptian stakeholders, areencouraged to review the Egyptian CORS scope and strategies inorder to maximize the national CORS services, for both publicand private sectors.
