The convergence time of PPP-WIZARD solutions is reduced by ambiguity resolution (AR). The GPS + GLONASS + GALILEO (GRE) mode improved the convergence time of GPS + GALILEO (GE) mode by 22.0%, 15.5%, 17.1%, and 11.4% for the BNC, RTKLIB, PPP-WIZARD (AR) and PPP-WIZARD, respectively. For the GRE mode, RMSEs of the BNC, RTKLIB, PPP-WIZARD (AR), and PPP-WIZARD software packages in the horizontal/vertical component are 3.8/5.6, 2.6/6.2, 3.3/6.5, 4.3/7.0 cm, respectively. In comparison with the IGS-ZTD (International GNSS Service ZTD), BNC, RTKLIB, PPP-WIZARD (AR), and PPP-WIZARD solutions show a mean bias of 0.28, -0.72, 2.80, and 2.83 cm, respectively in GE mode. The GRE mode reduced the RMSEs of the ZTD estimations of BNC, RTKLIB, PPP-WIZARD (AR) and PPP-WIZARD by 2.9%, 5.1%, 0.6%, and 0.4% respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBncPpp-Wizard-ArRtklibRt-PppZtdArticle5538855672-s2.0-85119583062Q2WOS:000721214200001Q410.1080/00396265.2021.2001627
