An insider view on tracking loops: A novel ultra-tight GNSS/INS hybridization approach

This paper tackles the issue of increasing GNSS receivers reliability by presenting a novel ultra-tight integration scheme identified as Gaussian AUtocorrelation Scaled Sum (GAUSS). This hybridization approach is based on the concept that a completely artificial autocorrelation peak, generated starting from the information provided by the inertial sensors can be fused non-coherently into the received signal autocorrelation function to enhance the receiver robustness in harsh conditions as in the presence of interferers and multipath.
