• Abstract summary: We present a neural network for mitigating biased errors in pseudoranges to improve localization performance with data collected from mobile phones. A satellite-wise Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is designed to regress the pseudorange bias from six satellite, receiver, context-related features. The corrected pseudoranges are then used by a model-based localization engine to compute locations.

• Abstract: We present a neural network for mitigating biased errors in pseudoranges to improve localization performance with data collected from mobile phones. A satellite-wise Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is designed to regress the pseudorange bias correction from six satellite, receiver, context-related features derived from Android raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements. To train the MLP, we carefully calculate the target values of pseudorange bias using location ground truth and smoothing techniques and optimize a loss function involving the estimation residuals of smartphone clock bias. The corrected pseudoranges are then used by a model-based localization engine to compute locations. The Google Smartphone Decimeter Challenge (GSDC) dataset, which contains Android smartphone data collected from both rural and urban areas, is utilized for evaluation. Both fingerprinting and cross-trace localization results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms model-based and state-of-the-art data-driven approaches.

  In urban environments, where line-of-sight signals from satellites are frequently blocked by high-rise objects, receivers are subject to large errors in measuring satellite ranges. Heuristic methods are commonly used to estimate these errors and reduce the impact of noisy measurements on localization accuracy. In our work, we replace these error estimations with a deep learning model based on Graph Neural Networks.
