Some Abbreviations and Definitions

CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) - An installation of GNSS receiver that is precisely located and continuously observing GNSS data. Arrays of CORS are often linked together as part of a network to deliver precise positioning solutions over large areas.

DGNSS Differential GNSS - A basic method of processing GNSS data to achieve submeter level accuracies (often referred to as DGPS).

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) - A global network of satellites producing navigation signals for positioning and navigation applications on earth.

VRS (Virtual Reference Station) - A method of NRTK which generates virtual data from data collected at nearby CORS for a specified location.

MAC (Master Auxiliary Concept) - A method of NRTK which provides CORS data with correction parameters generated from nearby CORS in order to optimise the solution for a specified location.

NRTK Network RTK - An enhancement of RTK which utilises data from multiple CORS to provide a uniform level of accuracy across the network.

NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) - A method for streaming RTCM messages over the internet.

RINEX Receiver Independent Exchange - An international standard for the storage of GNSS data.

RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime) Services -An international standard for real-time data streaming of GNSS data.

RTK (Real Time Kinematic) - A sophisticated method of processing GNSS data to achieve centimetre level accuracies in real time.

APC - Antenna Phase Center

ARP - Antenna Reference Point

CSRS-PPP - Online Precise Point Positioning (PPP) Service

GDOP - Geometric Dilution of Precision

GLONASS - Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema or Russian Global Navigation Satellite System

GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite System

GPS - Global Positioning System

HI - Height of Instrument. In RTK this refers to the distance from the physical point to the Antenna Reference Point (ARP)

HPN - Provincial High Precision Networks

NAD83 - North American Datum 1983

PDOP - Positional Dilution of Precision

RINEX - The Receiver Independent Exchange Format

RTK - Real-Time Kinematic

RTN - Real-Time Network
