Tutorials

This tutorial provides a comprehensive introduction to 3GPP 5G positioning, covering standardized measurements, positioning methods, error sources, integrity mechanisms, and network APIs, illustrated with indoor and outdoor examples.

In this tutorial we delve into the foundational elements of ambiguity resolution, which are very important for GNSS high-precision navigation. Attendees will learn a rigorous mathematical framework of integer estimability, including several classes of estimators, as well as validation algorithms for statistical testing of mixed-integer models.

This tutorial will provide a detailed introduction to the concepts, application and implications of signal and data level authentication in the civil GNSS context. Attendees will gain an understanding of the costs and benefits of civil GNSS authentication, as well as a clear overview of the current state of the art.

Navigation systems routinely operate under model mismatch, including unexpected dynamics, non-Gaussian noises, multipath, sensor miscalibration, and model uncertainty. This tutorial provides a structured introduction to robust estimation methods for navigation, explaining when conventional estimators fail and how different families of robust solutions can be selected, interpreted, and applied in practice.

This tutorial presents the essential principles and recent advances in inertial navigation, covering rigid motion representation, error modelling, attitude alignment, and high-accuracy inertial computation. It combines a first-principles technological perspective with historical insights, highlighting both classical foundations and cutting-edge developments led by the presenter’s research group.

This tutorial will overview the fundamentals of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) with low Earth orbit satellites and will highlight major advancements in the field. The tutorial will also present current open problems, ranging from theoretical foundations to engineering and technological implementations.
