2<h3>BKG Ntrip State Space Server (BNS) Version 1.3</h3>
3
4<p>
5The BKG Ntrip State Space Server (BNS) is a program for transforming GNSS satellite clocks and orbits into corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris. These corrections are then encode in a (premature) RTCM Version 3.x format and uploaded to NTRIP broadcasters like <u>http://www.euref-ip.net/home</u> or <u>http://www.igs-ip.net/home.</u> BNS is created as a tool for service providers with real-time access to a network of continentally or globally distributed GNSS reference stations.
6</p>
7
8<p>
9BNS has been developed for the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) within the framework of EUREF's Real-time GNSS Project (EUREF-IP, IP for Internet Protocol) and the Real-Time IGS Pilot Project (RTIGS PP).

34<p>
35Differential GNSS and RTK operation using RTCM streams is currently based on corrections and/or raw measurements from single or multiple reference stations. This approach to differential positioning is using 'observation space' information. The representation with the RTCM standard can be called 'Observation Space Representation' (OSR).
36</p>
37<p>
38An alternative to the observation space approach is the so called 'sate space' approach. The principle here is to provide information on individual error sources and can be called 'State Space Representation' (SSR). For a rover position, state space information concerning precise satellite clocks, orbits, ionosphere, troposphere et cetera can be converted into observation space and used to correct the rover observables for more accurate positioning. Alternatively the state information can directly be used in the rover's processing or adjustment model.
39</p>
40
41<p>In order to support applications following the state space approach, the purpose of BNS is to
42
43<ul>
44<li>read GNSS clocks and orbits in a SP3-like format from an IP port. They can be produced by a real-time GNSS engine such as RTNet and should be referenced to the IGS Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed (ECEF) reference system.</li>
45<li>read GNSS Broadcast Ephemeris in RINEX Navigation format from an IP port. This information can be provided in real-time by the 'BKG Ntrip Client' (BNC) program.</li>
46<li>convert the IGS Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed clocks and and orbits into corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris with radial, along-track and cross-track components.</li>
47<li>refer the clock and orbit corretions to a specific reference system.</li>
48<li>upload the clock and orbit corrections as an RTCM Version 3.x stream to an NTRIP Broadcaster.</li>
49<li>log the Broadcast Ephemeris clock corrections as files in Clock RINEX files.</li>
50<li>log the Broadcast Ephemeris orbit corrections as files in SP3 files.</li>
51</ul>
52</p>
53
54<p><a name="function"><h3>2. Functioning</h3></p>
55<p>
56The procedures taken by BNS to generate clock and orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris in radial, along-track and cross-track components are as follow:
57</p>
58<p>
59<ul>
60<li>Continuously receive up-to-date Broadcast Ephemeris carrying approximate orbits and clocks for all satellites. Receive them in RINEX Version 3 Navigation file format. Read new Broadcast Ephemeris immediately whenever they become available. Tools like the 'BKG Ntrip Client' (BNC) provide this information.</li>
61</ul>
62</p>
63<p>
64Then, epoch by epoch:
65<ul>
66<li>Continuously receive the best available clock and orbit estimates for all satellites in X,Y,Z Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed IGS05 reference system. Receive them every epoch in a SP3-like format as provided by a real-time GNSS engine such as RTNet.</li>
67<li>Calculate X,Y,Z coordinates from Broadcast Ephemeris orbits.</li>
68<li>Calculate differences dX,dY,dZ between Broadcast Ephemeris and IGS05 orbits.</li>
69<li>Tranform these differences into radial, along-track and cross-track corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris orbits.</li>
70<li>Calculate corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris clocks as differences between Broadcast Ephemeris and IGS05 clocks.</li>
71<li>Encode Broadcast Ephemeris clock and orbit corrections in RTCM Version 3.x format.</li>
72<li>Upload corrections stream to NTRIP Broadcaster.</li>
73</ul>
74</p>
75<p>
76Although it is not compulsory, because BNS puts a significant load on the communication link, it is recommended that BNS, the Broadcast Ephemeris server (i.e. BNC), and the server providing orbits and clocks (i.e. RTNet) are run on the same host.
77</p>
78
79<p><a name="resources"><h3>3. Modes &amp; Resources</h3></p>
80<p>
81Apart from its regular window mode, BNS can be run as a background job in a 'no window' mode using processing options from a previously saved configuration.
82</p>
83<p>
84BNS requires access to the Internet with a minimum of about 1 kbits/sec per stream depending on the number of GNSS systems. You need to make sure that the connection can sustain the required bandwidth.
85</p>
86<p>
87It requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized.
88</p>
89
90<p><a name="options"><h3>4. Options</h3></p>
91
92<p>
93This section describes BNS's top menu bar, its processing options and its bottom menu bar.
94</p>
95
96<p>
97The usual handling of BNS is that you first select severs for 'RINEX Ephemeris' and 'Clocks &amp; Orbits'. You then select an NTRIP broadcaster for stream upload ('Broadcast Corrections') before you start the program ('Start'). Records of BNS's activities are shown in the 'Logs' canvas in the middle of the main window.
98</p>
99
100<p>
101As a default, configuration files for running BNS on Unix/Linux/Mac systems are saved in directory '${HOME}/.config/BKG'. On Windows systems, they are typically saved in directory 'C:/Documents and Settings/Username/.config/BKG'. The default configuration file name is 'BNS.ini'.
102</p>
103
104<p>
105The default file name 'BNS.ini' can be changed and the file contents can easily be edited. On graphical user interfaces it is possible to Drag &amp; Drop a configuration file icon to start BNS. See annexed 'Configuration Example' for a complete set of configuration options.

192<p><a name="proxy"><h4>4.2. Proxy - for usage in a protected LAN</h4></p>
193
194<p>
195If you are running BNS within a protected Local Area Network (LAN), you might need to use a proxy server to access the Internet. Enter your proxy server IP and port number in case one is operated in front of BNS. If you don't know the address and port of your proxy server, check the proxy server settings in your Internet browser or ask your network administrator.
196</p>
197<p>
198Note that IP streaming is often not allowed in a LAN. In this case you need to ask your network administrator for an appropriate modification of the local security policy or for the installation of a TCP relay to the NTRIP Casters. If these are not possible, you might need to run BNS outside your LAN on a host that has unobstructed connection to the Internet.

211<p>
212When BNS is started, new files are created by default and any existing files with the same name will be overwritten. However, users might want to append existing files following a restart of BNS, a system crash or when BNS had crashed. Tick 'Append files' to continue with existing files and keep what has been recorded so far. Note that option 'Append files' affects all types of files created by BNS.
213</p>
214
215<p><a name="genstart"><h4>4.3.3 Auto Start - optional</h4></p>
216<p>
217You may like to auto-start BNS at startup time in window mode with preassigned configuration options. This may be required i.e. immediately after booting your system. Tick 'Autostart' to supersede the usage of the 'Start' button. Make sure that you maintain a link to BNS for that in your Autostart directory (Windows systems) or call BNS in a script below directory /etc/init.d (Unix/Linux/Mac systems).

257<p>
258BNS requires GNSS clocks and orbits in the IGS Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed (ECEF) reference system in a SP3-like format referred to CoM and not containing the conventional periodic relativistic effect. They can be provided by a real-time GNSS engine such as RTNet. The sampling rate should not be much greater than 10 sec. Note that otherwise in IP streaming involved tools on the NTRIP Broadcaster or client side may respond with a timeout.
259</p>
260
261<p>
262Below you find an example of precise clocks and orbits coming in a SP3-like format from a real-time GNSS engine. Each epoch starts with an asterisk character followed by the time as year, month, day of month, hour, minute and second. Subsequent records provide the following set of parameters for each satellite:

302<p><a name="ephc"><h4>4.6. Broadcast Corrections</h4></p>
303<p>
304BNS can upload the resulting stream(s) of clock and orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris to an NTRIP Broadcaster. Both EUREF and IGS operate an NTRIP broadcaster at <u>http://www.euref-ip.net/home</u> and <u>http://www.igs-ip.net/home</u> which can be used for stream upload. The stream's format is RTCM Version 3.x.
305</p>
306<p>
307BNS allows to configure two Broadcast Corrections streams refering do different reference systems for upload to different NTRIP broadcasters. You may use this functionality for parallel support of a backup NTRIP broadcaster or for simultaneous support of two reference systems.
308</p>
309

311When using clocks from Broadcast Ephemeris (with or without applied corrections) or clocks from SP3 files, it may be important to understand that they are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect. Chapter 10 of the IERS Conventions 2003 mentions that the conventional periodic relativistic correction to the satellite clock (to be added to the broadcast clock) is computed as dt = -2 (R * V) / c^2 where R *V is the scalar product of the satellite position and velocity and c is the speed of light. This can also be found in the GPS Interface Specification, IS-GPS-200, Revision D, 7 March 2006.

315<p>
316Specify the 'Host' IP name or number of an NTRIP Broadcaster to upload the stream. An empty option field means that you don't want to upload corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris.
317</p>
318<p>
319Enter the NTRIP Caster's IP 'Port' number for stream upload. Note that NTRIP Casters are often configured to provide access on more than one port, usually port 80 and 2101. If you experience communication problems on port 80, you should try to use the alternative port(s).

322<p><a name="ephcmount"><h4>4.6.2 Mountpoint &amp; Password - mandatory if 'Host' is set</h4></p>
323<p>
324Each stream on an NTRIP Caster is defined using a unique source ID called mountpoint. An NTRIP Server like BNS uploads a stream to the Caster by referring to a dedicated mountpoint that has been set by the Caster operator. Specify here the mountpoint based on the details you received for your stream from the operator. It is often a four character ID (capital letters) plus an integer number.
325<p>
326</p>
327In NTRIP Version 1.0 stream upload may be protected through an upload 'Password'. Enter the password you received from the Caster operator along with the mountpoint(s).

506<p><a name="ephcom"><h4>4.6.5 Center of Mass - optional</h4></p>
507<p>
508BNS allows to either refer orbit/clock corrections to the satellite's Center of Mass (CoM) or to the satellite's Antenna Phase Center (APC). By default corrections refer to APC. Tick 'Center of Mass' to refer uploaded corrections to CoM.
509</p>
510
511<p><a name="brdc"><h4>4.7. Broadcast Ephemeris</h4></p>
512<p>
513BNS can upload a stream carrying Broadcast Ephemeris in RTCM Version 3 format to an NTRIP Caster.
514</p>
515
516<p><a name="brdcserver"><h4>4.7.1 Host &amp; Port - optional</h4></p>
517<p>
518Specify the 'Host' IP name or number of an NTRIP Broadcaster to upload the stream. An empty option field means that you don't want to upload Broadcast Ephemeris.
519</p>
520<p>
521Enter the NTRIP Caster's IP 'Port' number for stream upload. Note that NTRIP Casters are often configured to provide access on more than one port, usually port 80 and 2101. If you experience communication problems on port 80, you should try to use the alternative port(s).
522</p>
523
524<p><a name="brdcmount"><h4>4.7.2 Mountpoint &amp; Password - mandatory if 'Host' is set</h4></p>
525<p>
526Each stream on an NTRIP Caster is defined using a unique source ID called mountpoint. An NTRIP Server like BNS uploads a stream to the Caster by referring to a dedicated mountpoint that has been set by the Caster operator. Specify here the mountpoint based on the details you received for your stream from the operator. It is often a four character ID (capital letters) plus an integer number.
527</p>
528
529<p><a name="brdcsmpl"><h4>4.7.3 Sampling - mandatory if 'Host' is set</h4></p>
530Select the Broadcast Ephemeris sampling interval in seconds. Defaut is '5' meaning that a complete set of Broadcast Ephemeris is uploaded every 5 seconds.
531</p>
532
533<p><a name="clkrnx"><h4>4.8. RINEX Clocks</h4></p>
534<p>
535The clock corrections generated by BNS can be logged separately in Clock RINEX format. The file naming follows the RINEX convention.
536<p>
537
538</p>
539Note that clocks in the Clock RINEX files are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect.
540</p>
541
542<p><a name="clkdir"><h4>4.8.1 Directory - optional</h4></p>
543<p>
544Here you can specify the path to where the Clock RINEX files will be stored. If the specified directory does not exist, BNS will not create Clock RINEX files. Default value for 'Directory' is an empty option field, meaning that logging of Clock RINEX files is disabled.
545</p>
546
547<p><a name="clkint"><h4>4.8.2 Interval &amp; Sampling - mandatory if 'Directory' is set</h4></p>
548<p>
549Select the length of the Clock RINEX file generated. The default value is 1 day.
550</p>
551
552<p>
553Select the Clock RINEX sampling interval in seconds. A value of zero '0' tells BNS to store all received epochs into Clock RINEX. This is the default value.
554</p>
555
556<p><a name="orb"><h4>4.9. SP3 Orbits</h4></p>
557<p>
558The orbit corrections generated by BNS can be logged separately in SP3 Orbit files. The file naming follows the IGS convention.
559</p>
560</p>
561Note that clocks in the SP3 Orbit files are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect.
562</p>
563
564<p><a name="orbdir"><h4>4.9.1 Directory - optional</h4></p>
565<p>
566Here you can specify the path to where the SP3 Orbit files will be stored. If the specified directory does not exist, BNS will not create SP3 Orbit files. Default value for 'Directory' is an empty option field, meaning that logging of SP3 Orbit files is disabled.
567</p>
568
569<p><a name="orbint"><h4>4.9.2 Interval &amp; Sampling - mandatory if 'Directory' is set</h4></p>
570<p>
571Select the length of the SP3 Orbit file generated. The default value is 1 day.
572</p>
573<p>
574Select the SP3 Orbit file sampling interval in seconds. A value of zero '0' tells BNS to store all received epochs into SP3 Orbit files. This is the default value.
575</p>
576
577<p><a name="bottom"><h4>4.10. Bottom Menu Bar</h4></p>
578<p>
579The bottom menu bar allows to start or stop the execution of BNS and provides access to BNC's online help funtion.
580</p>
581
582<p><a name="start"><h4>4.10.1 Start</h4></p>
583<p>
584Hit 'Start' to start receiving IGS orbits and clocks and convert them into corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris. Note that when started, BNS by default will begin with new files which might overwrite existing files when necessary unless the option 'Append files' is ticked.
585</p>
586
587<p><a name="stop"><h4>4.10.2 Stop</h4></p>
588<p>
589Hit the 'Stop' button in order to stop BNS.
590</p>
591
592<p><a name="cmd"><h4>4.11. Command Line Options</h4></p>
593<p>
594Command line options are available to run BNS in 'no window' mode or let it read a specific configuration file. Note that the self-explaining contents of the configuration file can easily be edited. It is possible to introduce a specific configuration file name instead of using the default name 'BNS.ini'.
595</p>
596
597<p><a name="nw"><h4>4.11.1 No Window - optional</h4></p>
598<p>
599Apart from its regular windows mode, BNS can be started on all systems as a background job with command line option '-nw'. BNS will then run in 'no window' mode, using processing options from its configuration file on disk. Terminate BNS using Windows Task Manager when running it in 'no window' mode on Windows systems.
600</p>
601<p>
602Example:<br><br>
603bns.exe -nw
604</p>
605
606<p><a name="conffile"><h4>4.11.2 Configuration File - optional</h4></p>
607The default configuration file name is 'BNS.ini'. You may change this name at startup time using the command line option '--conf &#060;<u>confFileName</u>&#062;'. This allows to run several BNS jobs in parallel on the same host using different sets of configuration options. <u>confFileName</u> stands either for the full path to a configuration file or just for a file name. If you introduce only a filename, the corresponding file will be saved in the current working directory from where BNS is started.
608</p>
609<p>
610Example:<br><br>
611./bns --conf MyConfig.ini
612</p>
613<p>
614This leads to a BNS job using configuration file 'MyConfig.ini'. The configuration file will be saved in the current working directory.
615</p>
616
617
618</p>
619<p><a name="limits"><h3>5. Limitations</h3></p>
620<ul>
621<li>
622In Qt-based desktop environments (such as KDE) on Unix/Linux/Mac platforms users may experience a crash at startup even when BNS is run in the background using the '-nw' option. This is a known bug most likely resulting from an incompatibility of Qt libraries in the environment and in BNS. Entering the command 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' before running BNS may help as a work-around.
623</li>
624<li>
625Currently BNS can only generate premature RTCM Version 3.x message Type 1057-1068 (see RTCM document 091-2009-SC104-542 'Version 3 Proposed Messages â&#8364;&#8220; Set 10') . Note that what is implemented in BNS is just a temporary solution.
626</li>
627<li>
628We experienced some limitation with the Standard Version of Microsoft Windows related to socket communication where sockets are not always handled properly. Since BNS makes intensive use of communication through sockets, we recommend to use the Server Version of Microsoft Windows when running BNS continuously for extended period on a Windows platform.
629</li>
630<li>
631Once BNS has been started, its configuration can not be changed unless without a restart. An on-the-fly reconfiguration is not implemented.

687The Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) is an international non-profit scientific, professional and educational organization. Special Committees provide a forum in which governmental and non-governmental members work together to develop technical standards and consensus recommendations in regard to issues of particular concern. RTCM is engaged in the development of international standards for maritime radionavigation and radiocommunication systems. The output documents and reports prepared by RTCM Committees are published as RTCM Recommended Standards. Topics concerning Differential Global Navigation Satellite Systems (DGNSS) are handled by the Special Committee SC 104.

694
695<p>
696'Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol' Version 1.0 (NTRIP) stands for an application-level protocol streaming Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data over the Internet. NTRIP is a generic, stateless protocol based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1. The HTTP objects are enhanced to GNSS data streams.
697</p>
698
699<p>
700NTRIP Version 1.0 is an RTCM standard designed for disseminating differential correction data (e.g. in the RTCM-104 format) or other kinds of GNSS streaming data to stationary or mobile users over the Internet, allowing simultaneous PC, Laptop, PDA, or receiver connections to a broadcasting host. NTRIP supports wireless Internet access through Mobile IP Networks like GSM, GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS.
701</p>
702
703<p>
704NTRIP is implemented in three system software components: NTRIP clients, NTRIP servers and NTRIP broadcasters. The NTRIP broadcaster is the actual HTTP server program whereas NTRIP client and NTRIP server are acting as HTTP clients. The NTRIP broadcaster maintains a source-table containing information on available NTRIP streams, networks of NTRIP streams and NTRIP broadcasters. The source-table is sent to an NTRIP client on request.
705</p>
706
707<p>
708NTRIP is an open none-proprietary protocol. Major characteristics of NTRIP's dissemination technique are:
709<ul>
710<li>Based on the popular HTTP streaming standard; comparatively easy to implement when having limited client and server platform resources available.</li>
711<li>Application not limited to one particular plain or coded stream content; ability to distribute any kind of GNSS data.</li>
712<li>Potential to support mass usage; disseminating hundreds of streams simultaneously for thousands of users possible when applying modified Internet Radio broadcasting software.</li>
713<li>Considering security needs; stream providers and users don't necessarily get into contact, streams often not blocked by firewalls or proxy servers protecting Local Area Networks.</li>
714<li>Enables streaming over mobile IP networks because of using TCP/IP.</li>
715</ul>
716</p>
717
718<p>
719The NTRIP Version 2 transport protocol is not implemented in BNS.

722<p><a name="rtcm3"><h4>7.2.2 RTCM Version 3.x</h4></p>
723<p>
724RTCM Version 3.x has been developed as a better alternative to RTCM Version 2.x. Service providers and vendors have asked for a standard that would be efficient, easy to use, and easily adaptable to new situations.
725</p>
726RTCM is in the process of developing new Version 3 message types to carry satellite clock and orbit corrections in real-time. Based on the latest available proposal, the following premature messages currently under discussion of relevance to BNS are listed here:
727<p>
728<ul>
729<li>Message type 1057: GPS orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
730<li>Message type 1058: GPS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
731<li>Message type 1059: GPS code biases</li>
732<li>Message type 1060: Combined orbit and clock corrections to GPS Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
733<li>Message type 1061: GPS User Range Accuracy (URA)</li>
734<li>Message type 1062: High-rate GPS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
735<li>Message type 1063: GLONASS orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
736<li>Message type 1064: GLONASS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
737<li>Message type 1065: GLONASS code biases</li>
738<li>Message type 1066: Combined orbit and clock corrections to GLONASS Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
739<li>Message type 1067: GLONASS User Range Accuracy (URA)</li>
740<li>Message type 1068: High-rate GLONASS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris</li>
741</ul>
742</p>
743<p>
744RTCM Version 3.x streams carrying these messages may be used for example to support real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) applications using the 'state space' approach.
