A Service Oriented Architecture Approach for Global Positioning System Quality of Service Monitoring
Abstract
This research focuses on the development of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for monitoring the Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Positioning Service in near real time utilizing a Mobile Crowd Sensing technique. This SOA development employed a Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) approach to evaluate a set of MCS architecture variants. Ultimately this research provides a feasibility analysis for utilization of mobile distributed sensors to provide situational awareness of the GPS Quality of Service (QoS). First this research provides justification for development of a new monitoring architecture and defines the scope of the SOA. Then an exploration of current SOA, MBSE, and Geospacial System Information (GIS) research was conducted. Next a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) of the MCS participant interactions was developed and simulated within AGIs Systems Toolkit. The architecture performance analysis was executed using a GIS software package known as ArcMap. Finally, this research concludes with an analysis if the proposed architecture would be suitable for detecting sources of GPS interference within an AoI.
