Kinematic ME-MAFA for Pseudolite Carrier-Phase Ambiguity Resolution in Precise Single-Point Positioning.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Precise single-point positioning using carrier-phase measurements can be provided by the synchronized pseudolite system. The primary task of carrier phase positioning is ambiguity resolution (AR) with rapidity and reliability. As the pseudolite system is usually operated in the dense multipath environment, cycle slips may lead the conventional least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) method to incorrect AR. A new AR method based on the idea of the modified ambiguity function approach (MAFA), which is insensitive to the cycle slips, is studied in this paper. To improve the model strength of the MAFA and to eliminate the influence of constant multipath biases on the time-average model in static mode, the kinematic multi-epoch MAFA (kinematic ME-MAFA) algorithm is proposed. A heuristic method for predicting the 'float position' corresponding to every Voronoi cell of the next epoch, making use of Doppler-based velocity information, is implemented to improve the computational efficiency. If the success rate is very close to 1, it is possible to guarantee reliable centimeter-level accuracy positioning without further ambiguity validation. Therefore, a computing method of the success rate for the kinematic ME-MAFA is proposed. Both the numerical simulations and the kinematic experiment demonstrate the feasibility of the new AR algorithm according to its accuracy and reliability. The accuracy of the horizontal positioning solution is better than 1.7 centimeters in our pseudolite system.
