Ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) reference stations provide pseudo-range corrections (PRCs) and range rate corrections (RRCs) for visible GPS satellites along with the standard deviations of the PRC errors (σpr_gnd) and B-values for the reference receivers. When generating PRCs, a GBAS should adjust the reference receiver clock bias to limit the PRC values within a certain range specified by international standards. Since σpr_gnd should reflect the PRC errors accurately for system integrity, it must consider the effect of the clock adjustment procedure. Nevertheless, this has hardly been researched, since it is well known that the clock adjustment does not impact on the user position solution. This paper notices that σpr_gnd is also used for GBAS integrity monitoring functions which are implemented in range domain, not position domain. Thus, the work presented here investigates continuity and integrity performance risk in range domain in case a GBAS estimates σpr_gnd ignoring the clock adjustment procedure and uses it for integrity monitors. The work presented here analyzes the risk by a simulation and proposes strategies for σpr_gnd establishment considering the clock adjustment effects to prevent system performance risk.
