Stochastic Modeling of Smartphones GNSS Observations Using LS-VCE and Application to Samsung S20.

In recent years, numerous smartphones have been equipped with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology, enabling individuals to utilize their own devices for positioning and navigation purposes. In 2016, with the launch of a mobile app by Google, namely GnssLogger, smartphone users with Android version 7 or higher were able to record raw GNSS measurements (i.e.

GNSS Observation Generation from Smartphone Android Location API: Performance of Existing Apps, Issues and Improvement.

Precise position information available from smartphones can play an important role in developing new location-based service (LBS) applications. Starting from 2016, and after the release of Nougat version (Version 7) by Google, developers have had access to the GNSS raw measurements through the new application programming interface (API), namely android.location (API level 24).

GNSS smartphones positioning: advances, challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives.

Starting from 2016, the raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements can be extracted from the Android Nougat (or later) operating systems. Since then, GNSS smartphone positioning has been given much attention. A high number of related publications indicates the importance of the research in this field, as it has been doing in recent years.
