Integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) in precise
point positioning (PPP) using GPS observations has been
well studied. The main challenge remaining is that the first
ambiguity fixing takes about 30 min. This paper presents
improvements made using GPS+GLONASS observations,
especially improvements in the initial fixing time and cor-
rect fixing rate compared with GPS-only solutions. As a
result of the frequency division multiple access strategy of
GLONASS, there are two obstacles to GLONASS PPP-IAR:
first and most importantly, there is distinct code inter-
frequency bias (IFB) between satellites, and second, simul-
taneously observed satellites have different wavelengths. To
overcome the problem resulting from GLONASS code IFB,
we used a network of homogeneous receivers for GLONASS
wide-lane fractional cycle bias (FCB) estimation and wide-
lane ambiguity resolution. The integer satellite clock of the
GPS and GLONASS was then estimated with the wide-lane
FCB products. The effect of the different wavelengths on
FCB estimation and PPP-IAR is discussed in detail.We used
a 21-day data set of 67 stations, where data from 26 sta-
tions were processed to generate satellite wide-lane FCBs
and integer clocks and the other 41 stations were selected
as users to perform PPP-IAR. We found that GLONASS
FCB estimates are qualitatively similar to GPS FCB esti-
mates.Generally, 98.8%of a posteriori residuals ofwide-lane

ambiguities are within ±0.25 cycles for GPS, and 96.6%
for GLONASS. Meanwhile, 94.5 and 94.4% of narrow-lane
residuals are within 0.1 cycles for GPS and GLONASS,
respectively. For a critical value of 2.0, the correct fixing
rate for kinematic PPP is only 75.2% for GPS alone and as
large as 98.8% for GPS+GLONASS. The fixing percentage
for GPS alone is only 11.70 and 46.80% within 5 and 10
min, respectively, and improves to 73.71 and 95.83% when
adding GLONASS. Adding GLONASS thus improves the
fixing percentage significantly for a short time span.We also
used global ionosphere maps (GIMs) to assist the wide-lane
carrier-phase combination to directly fix the wide-lane ambi-
guity. Employing this method, the effect of the code IFB is
eliminated and numerical results show that GLONASS FCB
estimation can be performed across heterogeneous receivers.
However, because of the relatively lowaccuracy ofGIMs, the
fixing percentage ofGIM-aidedGPS+GLONASS PPP ambi-
guity resolution is very low.We expect better GIM accuracy
to enable rapid GPS+GLONASS PPP-IAR with heteroge-
neous receivers.
