Additionally, dedicated tracking devices are used in a wide range of applications, including fleet management, cargo tracking, theft protection for cars, in-store customer tracking, and many others. Even though the integration of PNT capabilities into such devices makes life more efficient and convenient, users are concerned about the confidentiality of the associated position information. The use of GPS jamming devices is an illegal protective measure, which has become a significant problem. The panel presentations will provide an update about current and planned location based services with a focus on the trade-off of utility and privacy. Methods of privacy protection shall be addressed. Organizers: Dr. Christoph Günther, German Aerospace Center (DLR)/TU München, Germany and Dr. Todd Humphreys, The University of Texas at Austin PANEL: Receiver Performance Standards: Are They Needed? Who Gets to Decide? What Would be the Impact? The competition for RF spectrum raises the importance of compatibility of services in adjacent or near-by frequency bands. GNSS receivers for aviation applications have specific requirements for tolerance of in-band emissions as well as susceptibility to out-of-band signals. However, other GNSS receiver types have typically not been subjected to such standards. New, higher-power services in the L-band may require improved out-of-band rejection in GNSS receivers and there have been discussions on imposing GNSS receiver performance standards in addition to establishment of “harm claim thresholds” which would influence receiver performance specifications. The DoT has launched a GPS Adjacent Band Compatibility Assessment to identify processes for deriving adjacent band power limits for current and future GNSS signals. The panel will provide an update on these ongoing developments, along with perspectives on the topic and stimulate a lively discussion about the pros and cons of the issue at hand and the approaches espoused to determine spectral compatibility in the bands adjacent to GNSS.
