This article proposes an improved global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning method that explores the time correlation between consecutive epochs of the code and carrier-phase measurements, which significantly increases the robustness against outlier measurements. Instead of relying on the time difference carrier phase which only considers two neighboring epochs using an extended Kalman filter estimator, this article proposed to employ the carrier-phase measurements inside a window, the so-called window carrier phase (WCP), to constrain the states inside a factor graph. A left null space matrix is employed to eliminate the shared unknown ambiguity variables and, therefore, correlate the associated states inside the WCP. Then, the pseudorange, Doppler, and the constructed WCP measurements are integrated simultaneously using factor graph optimization to estimate the state of the GNSS receiver. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method in two typical urban canyons in Hong Kong, achieving the mean positioning errors of 1.76 and 2.96 m, respectively, using the automobile-level GNSS receiver. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the proposed method is further evaluated using a low-cost smartphone-level GNSS receiver, and similar improvement is also obtained when compared with several existing GNSS positioning methods.
