The Hybrid Overlay Positioning with 5G and GNSS (HOP-5G) project targets the demonstration of a 5G local overlay testbed for enhanced user positioning, in combination with GNSS and sensor technologies. Within this project, the HOP-5G consortium focuses on the exploitation of 5G innovative positioning enablers and their hybridisation with GNSS and sensors. This is based on the dedicated deployment…

A great number of civilian and military applications relies on GNSS for PNT, however its availability could be put at risk by threats such as local interference, amongst others.  GNSS spectrum monitoring is essential for: detecting, characterising and localising interference sources, which could endanger the adequate reception and processing of GNSS signals;  initiating a justified…

GNSS signals are widely used for time synchronization purposes in many different application sectors, including telecom, finance and energy. Telecom service providers, in particular, consider GNSS-based synchronization well adapted to macro-cells whereas alternative synchronization technologies (e.g. wire-based solutions like Precise Time Protocol) are deemed more suitable for indoor small cells,…

GPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…
