Positioning Application: Where can I find the P1 flag status in the GLONASS nav dump?

Environment/Versions
  • PosApp
  • GLONASS enabled scenario
  • GLONASS nav data extract utility
  • 'Dump navigation data' enabled

 What is a P1 flag? - Click here to find more information, or consult the GLONASS ICD

Answer
  • In the example below the scenario starts 10 minutes before an upload is due
  • The P1 flag is set to "01" (30 minute (1800 second) intervals)
  • At time into run 600 seconds (10mins) an upload occurs
  • It takes an additional 16 seconds for the SV to broadcast information about the P1 flag status
  • Therefore the P1 flag will read “P1  :30 (minutes)” at time into run 616 seconds
    • Uploads are repeated at 1800 second intervals throughout the scenario
      • In this example, they occur at 2416, 4216, 6016 and so on

  Hamming:   0001 0001 (11)

  m: 1 (dimensionless)

  Reserved (bit 6 through 7, length = 2): 0x0

 

  P1: 30 (minutes)

 

  • For any timestamps that do not fall on an 1800 second epoch the P1 flag will be ‘0 minutes’
  • If the P1 flag were set to "11" to specify a 60 minute interval between updates, the flag would be seen at 3600 second intervals
    • In this example, it would first be seen at 616 seconds into run
      • Then at 4216, 7816 and so on
