Time-differenced carrier phase

Because of the demand for seamless indoor and outdoor positioning of mass market applications, several simple and efficient pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) systems have been introduced. However, the performance of PDR system would significantly decrease with the increase of recursion time, due to the influence of sensors and model error. This paper discusses the overview of pedestrian navigation system and the implementation of key techniques of PDR, then proposes an improved PDR system with precise displacement estimation based on time-differenced carrier phase (TDCP) technique.
