Dr. Kyle O'Keefe's research interests include global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and wireless location. His research includes both local area wireless location, satellite navigation, and augmentation of satellite navigation with ground-based RF measurements. He is particularly interested in the simulation of future radio-navigation systems and their error sources, both at the system performance and observation level. He is also interested in the mathematics behind precise carrier phase GNSS positioning, particularly the application of statistical reliability theory to the carrier phase ambiguity resolution problem.
Current Research:
- Probabilty of correct carrier phase ambiguity resolution in the presence of time-correlated observation errors.
- Integration of GPS and Ultra-Wideband ranging radios for surveying and vehicle navigation applications.
- Space applications of satellite navigation.
- Effect of double-differencing strategy carrier-phase ambiguity resolution performance.
- Simulation and evaluation of future GNSS (Galileo, GPS2, Mars Network)
