Abstract
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning with smartphones has increased attention due to its accessibility and potential for high-precision applications. In this study, the accuracy of the multi-constellation multi-frequency Xiaomi 11T module for static applications is investigated. Two-hour static GPS and Galileo measurements are acquired using Xiaomi 11T centered on a reference point at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport in Aswan, Egypt, over a period of three separate days; subsequently, the measurements are processed using the Ionosphere Free-Precise Point Positioning (IF-PPP) processing model. Three processing scenarios are applied including GPS-only, Galileo-only, and combined GPS/Galileo. To account for satellite and clock errors, the final Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) products are utilized. The results indicate that decimeter- and submeter-level accuracies can be fulfilled in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively; additionally, the combined constellation positioning accuracy are superior to those obtained from single constellation solutions, which is about 50-centimeter and 80-centimeter position accuracies in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Moreover, it is found that GPS-only solution is slightly better than Galileo-only solution, while Galileo-only solutions demonstrate slightly better performance in the vertical directions.
