BKG Ntrip State Space Server (BNS) Version 1.1

The 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 http://www.euref-ip.net/home or http://www.igs-ip.net/home. BNS is created as a tool for service providers with real-time access to a network of continentally or globally distributed GNSS reference stations.

BNS 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).

BNS is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Binaries for BNS are available for Windows, 32-bit and 64-bit Linux (compiled under -m32 32-bit compatibility mode), Solaris, and Mac OS X systems. The MinGW compiler (Version 5.3.1) is used to produce the Windows binary. It is likely that BNS can be compiled on other systems where a GNU compiler and Qt Version 4.4.3 are available.

Before running, please ensure that you have installed the latest version available. This can be obtained from http://igs.bkg.bund.de/index_ntrip_down.htm. We are continuously working on the program and would appreciate any comments, suggestions, or bug reports. They can be emailed to [euref-ip@bkg.bund.de] or [igs-ip@bkg.bund.de].

1. Purpose

Differential 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).

An 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.

In order to support applications following the state space approach, the purpose of BNS is to

2. Functioning

The procedures taken by BNS to generate clock and orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris in radial, along-track and cross-track components are as follow:

Then, epoch by epoch:

Although 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.

3. Modes & Resources

Apart 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.

BNS 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.

It requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized.

4. Options

This section describes BNS's top menu bar, its processing options and its bottom menu bar.

The usual handling of BNS is that you first select severs for 'RINEX Ephemeris' and 'Clocks & 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.

As 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'.

The 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 & Drop a configuration file icon to start BNS. See annexed 'Configuration Example' for a complete set of configuration options.

4.1. Top Menu Bar

The top menu bar allows to select a font for the BNS windows, save configured options or quit the program execution. It also provides access to a program documentation.

4.1.1 File

The 'File' button lets you

4.1.2 Help

The 'Help' button provides access to

BNS comes with a help system providing online information about its functionality and usage. Short descriptions are available for any widget. Focus to the relevant widget and press Shift+F1 to request help information. A help text will appear immediately; it disappears as soon as the focus is shifted to something else. The dialogs on some operating systems may provide a "?" button that users can click; they then click the relevant widget to pop up the help text.

4.2. Proxy - for usage in a protected LAN

If 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.

Note 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.

4.3. General Options

The following describes general settings for BNC's logfile, file handling and auto-start.

4.3.1 Logfile - optional

Records of BNS's activities are shown in the Log section on the bottom of the main window. These logs can be saved into a file when a valid path is specified in the 'Log (full path)' field. The message log covers the communication status between BNS and the NTRIP broadcaster as well as problems that may occur in the communication link, stream availability, stream delay, stream conversion etc. All times are given in UTC. The default value for 'Log (full path)' is an empty option field, meaning that BNS logs will not saved into a file.

4.3.2 Append Files

When 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.

4.3.3 Auto Start - optional

You 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).

4.4. RINEX Ephemeris

BNS requires GNSS Broadcast Ephemeris in RINEX Version 3 Navigation file format from an IP address and port. This information can be provided in real-time by the 'BKG Ntrip Client' (BNC) program. Note that whenever a new set of Broadcast Ephemeris becomes available, BNS needs it immediately.

The following is an example log of Broadcast Ephemeris records in RINEX Version 3 Navigation file format for satellite GPS PRN32 and GLONASS PRN04:

4.4.1 Host & Port - mandatory

Enter the IP address and port number of a Broadcast Ephemeris server like BNC to establish a persistent socket connection, see section 'Flow Chart' under 'Help' for socket communication details. If BNS runs on the same host as BNC, 127.0.0.1 should be used as the server's IP address. Make sure that this server is up and running before you start BNS.

4.4.2 Save - optional

Specify the full path to a file where received Broadcast Ephemeris will be logged. Beware that the size of this file can rapidly increase. Default is an empty option field meaning that logging is disabled.

4.5. Clocks & Orbits

BNS requires GNSS clocks and orbits in the IGS Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed (ECEF) reference system in SP3 format. 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.

Below you find an example of precise clocks and orbits coming in SP3 format from a real-time GNSS engine. Each epoch starts with an asterisk character followed by GPS Week, Second in GPS Week and Number of satellites. Subsequent records provide the following set of parameters for each satellite:

4.5.1 Listening Port - mandatory

BNS is listening at an IP port for incoming GNSS clocks and orbits in SP3 format. Enter the respective IP port number to setup a server socket for incoming data, see section 'Flow Chart' under 'Help' for socket communication details. Make sure that the software providing clocks and orbits is up and running before you start BNS.

4.5.2 Save - optional

Specify the full path to a file where received clocks and orbits from a real-time engine will be logged. Beware that the size of this file can rapidly increase. Default is an empty option field meaning that logging is disabled.

4.6. Broadcast Corrections

BNS 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 http://www.euref-ip.net/home and http://www.igs-ip.net/home which can be used for stream upload. The stream's format is RTCM Version 3.x.

BNS 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.

When using clocks from Broadcast Ephemeris (with or without corrections) and clocks from SP3 files in the same application, it is important to understand that Broadcast Ephemeris clocks - according to the Interface Control Documents (ICD) - are corrected for the 2nd-order relativistic effect whereas clocks from SP3 files are not. The 2nd-order relativistic effect is a priodic time correction defined as -2 (R * V) / c^2 and includes the scalar product of satallite position and velocity divided by the speed of light raised to the second power.

4.6.1 Host & Port - optional

Enter the NTRIP Caster's 'Host' IP name or number for stream upload.

Enter 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).

4.6.2 Mountpoint & Password - mandatory if 'Host' is set

Each stream on an NTRIP Caster is defined using a unique source ID called mountpoint. An NTRIP Server like BNS upload 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 detail you received from the operator for your stream. It is often a four character ID (capital letters) plus an integer number.

In 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).

4.6.3 System - mandatory if 'Host' is set

BNS refers its clock and orbit corrections to a specific reference system. Available options are

IGS05: As the clocks and orbits coming from real-time GNSS engine are expected to be in the IGS05 system, no transformation is carried out if this option is selected.

ETRF2000: The formulars for the transformation 'ITRF2005->ETRF2000' are taken from 'Claude Boucher and Zuheir Altamimi 2008: Specifications for reference frame fixing in the analysis of EUREF GPS campaign'. The following 14 Helmert transformation parameters were introduced:

Translation in X at epoch To:  0.0541 m
Translation in Y at epoch To:  0.0502 m
Translation in Z at epoch To: -0.0538 m
Translation rate in X: -0.0002 m/y
Translation rate in Y:  0.0001 m/y
Translation rate in Z: -0.0018 m/y
Rotation in X at epoch To:  0.891 mas
Rotation in Y at epoch To:  5.390 mas
Rotation in Z at epoch To: -8.712 mas
Rotation rate in X:  0.081 mas/y 
Rotation rate in Y:  0.490 mas/y
Rotation rate in Z: -0.792 mas/y
Scale at epoch To : 0.00000000040
Scale rate: 0.00000000008 /y
To: 2000.0

Contact [igs-ip@bkg.bund.de] if you would like to see further Helmert transformation parameters implemented in BNS to support other national or regional reference system.

4.6.4 Save - optional

The clock and orbit corrections streamed by BNS to the NTRIP Caster can be logged locally. Specify a full 'Save stream' path here to save this information to a local file. Default value for 'Save stream' is an empty option field, meaning that logging is disabled.

The file is in plain ASCII format comprising records containing the following set of parameters:

The following is an example file contents based on combined orbit and clock corrections for GPS and GLONASS carried in RTCM Version 3.x message Type 3004 and 3010:

1489 325606.0 G31    18     -1.021      0.110   -1.308   -0.120
1489 412006.0 R10    18      7.342      1.393    4.858   -2.634
1489 412006.0 R19    18      4.696      2.358    1.707   -2.907

1489 325607.0 G30    80      6.022      0.591   -0.318    0.022
1489 325607.0 G31    18     -1.022      0.110   -1.308   -0.120
1489 412007.0 R10    18      7.341      1.390    4.860   -2.636
1489 412007.0 R19    18      4.698      2.356    1.706   -2.906
...

4.6.5 Broadcast Clocks - optional

Tick 'Broadcast clocks" to ignore incoming clock estimates and send broadcast clocks instead of broadcast clock corrections.

This option is implemented to enable comparison with IGS post processing products. For that these clocks will not be corrected for the 2nd order relativistic effect.

4.7. RINEX Clocks

The clock corrections generated by BNS can be logged separately in Clock RINEX format. The file naming follows the RINEX convention.

Note that clocks in the Clock RINEX files are not corrected for the 2nd-order relativistic effect.

4.7.1 Directory - optional

Here 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.

4.7.2 Interval & Sampling - mandatory if 'Directory' is set

Select the length of the Clock RINEX file generated. The default value is 1 day.

Select 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.

4.8. SP3 Orbits

The orbit corrections generated by BNS can be logged separately in SP3 Orbit files. The file naming follows the IGS convention.

Note that clocks in the SP3 Orbit files are not corrected for the 2nd-order relativistic effect.

4.8.1 Directory - optional

Here 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.

4.8.2 Interval & Sampling - mandatory if 'Directory' is set

Select the length of the SP3 Orbit file generated. The default value is 1 day.

Select 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.

4.9. Bottom Menu Bar

The bottom menu bar allows to start or stop the execution of BNS and provides access to BNC's online help funtion.

4.9.1 Start

Hit '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.

4.9.2 Stop

Hit the 'Stop' button in order to stop BNS.

4.10. Command Line Options

Command 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'.

4.10.1 No Window - optional

Apart 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.

Example:

bns.exe -nw

4.10.2 Configuration File - optional

The default configuration file name is 'BNS.ini'. You may change this name at startup time using the command line option '--conf <confFileName>'. This allows to run several BNS jobs in parallel on the same host using different sets of configuration options. confFileName 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.

Example:

./bns --conf MyConfig.ini

This leads to a BNS job using configuration file 'MyConfig.ini'. The configuration file will be saved in the current working directory.

7.2.1 NTRIP

'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.

NTRIP 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.

NTRIP 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.

NTRIP is an open none-proprietary protocol. Major characteristics of NTRIP's dissemination technique are:

The NTRIP Version 2 transport protocol is not implemented in BNS.

7.2.2 RTCM Version 3.x

RTCM 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.

RTCM 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:

RTCM 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.

7.3. Configuration Example

The following table's left column is an example for the contents of a configuration file 'BNS.ini'. It enables the upload of streams CLCK1 and CLCK2 to www.igs-ip.net. Clock RINEX files and SP3 Orbit files are saved to a directory /home/weber/rinex :
