Abstract A workshop on Differential Operation of NAVSTAR GPS was held on June 9-10, 1983, at the Department of Transportation's Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachesetts. The primary purpose of the workship was to inititate the development of a standard for the broadcast of differential corrections from a reference station for reception and use by a population of nearby users. The result of the workshop was a strawman signal format that, if adopted as a standard, would enable receiver manufacturers to provide differential capability by the time of the NAVSTAR GPS becomes fully operational. The proposed format, patterned after the NAVSTAR GPS satellite data format, is flexible enough to accommodate several communications techniques, and to provide high-accuracy service to a variety of air, marine and land users. It also allows room for future growth and for applications to specialized user groups.
