精密クロック同期に基づく測位通信複合化について

抄録

This paper discusses the application of precise clock synchronization to satellite-based navigation (positioning) and mobile communication and mentions its usefulness. The synchronization of the clock carried on a mobile radio station with the precise clock installed in a ground radio station is accomplished precisely by the bidirectional communication between these stations, because the greater part of radio propagation delay errors are canceled in the calculation of the clock offset between the two stations. The use of the clock offset for the clock synchronized navigation and communication will bring us the reduction of the number of satellites in orbit and the optional communication between mobile and ground stations, and will produce the efficient integration of wide area navigation and mobile communication.
