Abstract

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) standard accuracy varies between 2 and 10 m. This accuracy can be improved to centimeter-level in real time, using Real Time Kinematic (RTK). With RTK, a GNSS receiver with known position, a base station (BS), calculates errors and sends corrections to rovers, allowing the receiver to locate with centimeter-level accuracy. RTKLIB is an open source library, that can be included as part of software release in a device, to implement rovers or BSs. The purpose of this paper is to propose a low-cost implementation of a client-server architecture, to provide corrections in real time to rover devices, using RTKLIB and consumer-grade hardware.
