Our objective is to create a novel solution in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) space that addresses the current research gap and enables industry practitioners to offer new, accurate, and effective high-accuracy GNSS positioning in the Android market. Our goal is to enhance GNSS positioning accuracy on Android smartphones by leveraging Observation State Representation (OSR) and State Space Representation (SSR) GNSS corrections, delivered in message formats specified by 3GPP. By utilizing these advanced correction methods, we aim to significantly improve the accuracy of location-based services on mobile devices. Presently, there is no existing solution that demonstrates end-to-end implementation of this concept solely using native smartphone capabilities. This pioneering project holds the potential to become a "world first" in the field, propelling the development of high accuracy GNSS services for the mass market, setting a new benchmark in the industry that can unlock new possibilities for the widespread adoption of precise location-based services, benefiting users worldwide. This innovation could significantly enhance various applications, including Google and Apple Maps, location-based games, location sharing, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, e-scooter rentals, geotagging, and professional surveying.
