E-HIMALAYA - extended-HIgh performance MAss market GNSS receiver muLti stAndard readY for mArket
Overview
Objectives:
The e-HIMALAYA project aims at prototyping innovative GNSS-based core technologies and concepts, with the objective to build key Galileo differentiators in a multi-GNSS hybridised receiver. Several markets are addressed with the main weight put on Mass-Market and transport, which represents the main Galileo receiver market.
The project will have several impacts:
- The first one is to build a ready to market localisation solution based on an efficient use of Galileo.
- The second is to control key market levers technologies, and therefore propose a feedback both on standardisation bodies, or future Galileo signal definition, and on the products roadmaps (GNSS ASIC).
- Finally, the project will develop an indoor technology that is today seen as a very promising one, blending GNSS measurements and LTE ones.
Methodology:
The project will develop a list of key features to enable a higher penetration of Galileo compatible receivers on the market, and especially the ASIC developed under Himalaya project. First of all it will develop a high accuracy technology made available even in bad reception conditions, thanks to a robust aided PLL processing tuned for the Galileo pilot channels. It will also address a smart integrity function taking into account the local effects, through an ultra-tight coupling with inertial sensors approach. It also addresses improved performances thanks to an extensive improvement of telecommunication assistance dissemination. In particular, a robust anti spoofing function is also developed, prototyped and demonstrated.
