## Project Title: Integration of SBAS (EGNOS/WAAS) in GNSS-SDR

## Project Title: WAAS
### Description:

**Large-sized project (350 h)**

This Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project focuses on advancing the functionalities of GNSS receiver related to SBAS.
This Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project focuses on advancing the functionalities of GNSS-SDR receivers related to WAAS.

The primary goal for the summer is to provide a working implementation of a GNSS receiver working with SBAS signals: Signal acquisition and tracking algorithms for their specific signals. The outcome should be a robust GNSS receiver capable of delivering RINEX-B files and real-time navigation solutions including SBAS information.

Implement acquisition and tracking algorithms for EGNOS signals, following the examples already implemented for other GNSS signals. This would facilitate research on precise positioning, safety positioning and and drone-related activities working with real signals. Demodulation of the navigation message, opening the door to open innovation in multi-constellation receivers.

### Required skills:
Basic knowledge of digital signal processing and proficiency in C++ programming are essential. Familiarity with the GNU Radio framework or GNSS-SDR is considered a valuable plus.

## Project Title: Vector Tracking

### Description:

Large-sized project (350 h)

This Google Summer of Code initiative aims to enhance vector tracking capabilities between GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). The goal is to develop a functional GNSS-SDR receiver capable of performing Vector Tracking. It is well-known that the use of Vector Tracking Loops (VTL) in GNSS receivers can result in improved tracking performance and sensitivity, faster acquisition, and improved interference robustness. This project leads to a real-time SDR GNSS VTL receiver capable of working with different COTS front-ends. These methods will enhance research on sensor fusion, precise positioning, and urban canyon navigation using real-world signals.

## Required skills:

Applicants should possess a fundamental understanding of digital signal processing and demonstrate proficiency in C++ programming. Knowledge of GNSS principles and prior experience with sensor fusion, particularly between GNSS and INS, will be advantageous.
