The 'RTCA MOPS DO229D - appendix A' is the reference standard for WAAS/EGNOS
application development. RTCA is an advisory committee of the US federal
government, and issues standards for civil airborne equipment, among other
duties. One such standard is MOPS 229D (Minimum Operational Performance
Standards for Global Positioning System/Wide Area Augmentation System Airborne
Equipment version D), which describes the implementation of satellite-based
augmentation services (SBAS) for receivers designed for civil aviation use. An
annex to DO229D contains the specifications for the SBAS signal and message. The
RTCA provides regular updates to these standards. MOPS 229D is available for a
fee from the <a href="https://my.rtca.org/nc__store?search=229D"
target="_blank">RTCA website</a>.

This is a complementary document to the RTCA DO229D, mentioned above. It
describes the scope of services provided by the EGNOS EDAS Service to be used by
end-users or Application Specific Service Providers. It details the general
conditions relating to the use of the EGNOS service, a technical description of
the Signal-in-Space (SIS), the reference receiver, environmental conditions, the
service performance achieved and aspects relating to service provision.

The EGNOS Safety of Life (SoL) Service is provided openly and is freely
accessible without any direct charge and is tailored to safety-critical
transport applications in various domains, in particular for aviation
applications. The service is thus compliant with the aviation APV-I (Approach
with Vertical Guidance) requirements, as defined by ICAO in Annex 10, but may
support also applications in other SoL domains.

\subsection rinex RINEX
The final output of a navigation receiver is usually its position, speed or
other related physical quantities. However, the calculation of those quantities
are based on a series of measurements from one or more satellite constellations.
Although receivers calculate positions in real time, in many cases it is
interesting to store intermediate measures for later post-processing. RINEX is
the standard format that allows the management and disposal of the measures
generated by a receiver, as well as their off-line processing by a multitude of
applications.

\li  The most common version at present is <a href="hftp://igs.org/pub/data/format/rinex212.txt" target="_blank"><b>RINEX: The Receiver Independent Exchange Format Version 2.12</b></a>,
which enables storage of measurements from pseudorange, carrier-phase and Doppler systems for GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo along with data from EGNOS and WAAS satellite based
augmentation systems (SBAS).

\li The most recent version is <a href="ftp://igs.org/pub/data/format/rinex303.pdf" target="_blank"><b>RINEX: The Receiver Independent Exchange Format Version 3.03</b></a> published in July, 2015.
It includes Galileo and improves the handling of multi-constellation data files.

KML is an XML language focused on geographic visualization, including annotation
of maps and images. Geographic visualization includes not only the presentation
of graphical data on the globe, but also the control of the user's navigation in
the sense of where to go and where to look. Google submitted KML (formerly
Keyhole Markup Language) to the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to be evolved
within the OGC consensus process with the following goal: KML Version 2.2 has
been adopted as an OGC implementation standard.

\subsection protocols Positioning protocols in wireless communication networks
Cellular industry location standards first appeared in the late 1990s, with the
<a href="https://www.3gpp.org/index.php" target="_blank">3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)</a>
radio resource location services protocol (RRLP)
technical specification 44.031 positioning protocol for GSM networks. Today,
RRLP is the de facto standardized protocol to carry GNSS assistance data to
GNSS-enabled mobile devices, and the term "3GPP specification" now covers all
GSM (including GPRS and EDGE), W-CDMA and LTE (including LTE-A) specifications.
Precisely, the label "LTE-A" is applied to networks compliant with LTE Release
10 and beyond, which fulfill the requirements issued by the
<a href="https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/Pages/default.aspx target="_blank">International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R)</a>
in the global standard for international mobile telecommunications
(IMT Advanced, also referred to as 4G) access technologies.

\li LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP): <a href="https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/36355.htm" target="_blank"><b>3GPP Technical Specification 36.355</b></a>.

User plane protocols:

LTE Release 9 introduced extension hooks in LPP messages, so that the bodies external to 3GPP could extend the LPP feature set. OMA LPP extensions (LPPe), supported in SUPL 3.0, build on top of the 3GPP LPP reusing its procedures and data types.
Check the <a href="https://technical.openmobilealliance.org/index.html" target="_blank">OMA Specifications webpage</a> for updated information about LPP Extensions (LPPe) Specification.

\li The <a href="http://member.openmobilealliance.org/ftp/Public_documents/loc/Permanent_documents/OMA-TS-MLP-V3_5-20181119-D.zip" target="_blank"><b>OMA Mobile Location Protocol (MLP) V3.5</b></a>
is an application-level protocol for getting the position of mobile stations
(mobile phones, wireless personal digital assistants, etc.) independent of
underlying network technology. The MLP serves as the interface between a
Location Server and a Location Services (LCS) Client. This specification defines
the core set of operations that a Location Server should be able to perform.
