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="http://rtca.org/onlinecart/product.cfm?id=396" target="_blank">RTCA website</a>.

\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="http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex211.txt" target="_blank"><b>RINEX: The Receiver Independent Exchange Format Version 2.11</b></a>, which enables storage of measurements from pseudorange, carrier-phase and Doppler systems for GPS or GLONASS,
along with data from EGNOS and WAAS satellite based augmentation systems (SBAS).
\li The most recent version is <a href="ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex301.pdf" target="_blank"><b>RINEX: The Receiver Independent Exchange Format Version 3.01</b></a> published in June, 2009.
It includes Galileo and improves the handling of multi-constellation data files.
\li There is also available the <a href="ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex_clock302.txt " target="_blank"><b>RINEX Extensions to Handle Clock Information</b></a>, published in September, 2010.
\subsection nmea NMEA
The <a href="http://www.nmea.org" target="_blank">National Marine Electronics Association </a> released the NMEA 0183 Interface Standard, which defines electrical signal requirements, data transmission protocol and time,
and specific sentence formats for a 4800-baud serial data bus. The standard is <a href="http://www.nmea.org/store/index.asp?show=cprd&cid=8" target="_blank">available for purchase</a>.
\subsection kml KML
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.
\li Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., <a href="http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=27810" target="_blank"><b>OGC KML Version 2.2.0</b></a>, April 2008.
\subsection cxx C++ Standards
In 1998, the C++ standards committee (the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/" target="_blank">ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 working group</a>)
standardized C++ and published the international standard ISO/IEC 14882:1998 (informally known as C++98). A technical corrigendum was approved in 2003,
and the standard was published again as the ISO/IEC 14882:2003.
Published ISO and IEC standards can be purchased from a member body of ISO or IEC. Free copies of the C++ standard Committee Drafts
were <a href="http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/c++std/" target="_blank">made public</a> before the official standard was released.
In 2005, a technical report, called the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_blank">Library Technical Report 1</a>
(often known as TR1 for short), was released. While not an official part of the standard, it specified a number of extensions to the standard library,
which were expected to be included in the next version of C++. The linked document is officially a draft, but that is due only to procedural issues;
the content did not change. Scott Meyers provides more <a href="http://www.aristeia.com/EC3E/TR1_info.html" target="_blank">TR1 information</a>.
Some ISO/IEC standards are publicly available, for instance: <a href="http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c043351_ISO_IEC_TR_18015_2006(E).zip" target="_blank">ISO/IEC TR 18015:2006 Technical Report on C++ Performance</a>.
The standard for the next version of the language (previously known as C++0x) was finally
published with the name of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11" target="_blank">C++11</a> in September, 2011, as the ISO/IEC 14882:2011 Standard. GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection,
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html" target="_blank">provides partial C++11 support</a>. Bjarne Stroustrup maintains a <a href="http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html" target="_blank">C++11 FAQ</a>.
\li The most recent public draft of the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2011/n3242.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Standard for Programming Language C++</b></a> was published in Feb. 2011.
\subsection protocols Positioning protocols in wireless communication networks
Cellular industry location standards first appeared in the late 1990s, with the <a href="http://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="http://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.
Control plane protocols:
\li Radio Resource LCS Protocol (RRLP): <a href="http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/44031.htm" target="_blank"><b>3GPP Technical Specification 44.031</b></a>.
\li LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP): <a href="http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/36355.htm" target="_blank"><b>3GPP Technical Specification 36.355</b></a>.
User plane protocols:
\li Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), <a href="http://member.openmobilealliance.org/ftp/Public_documents/LOC/Permanent_documents/OMA-AD-SUPL-V1_0-20070615-A.zip" target="_blank"><b>Secure User Plane Location Architecture Version 1 (SUPL 1.0)</b></a>, June 2007.
\li Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), <a href="http://member.openmobilealliance.org/ftp/Public_documents/LOC/Permanent_documents/OMA-AD-SUPL-V2_0-20120417-A.zip" target="_blank"><b>Secure User Plane Location Architecture Version 2 (SUPL 2.0)</b></a>, April 2012.
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="http://technical.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/LOC.aspx" target="_blank">OMA Location Working Group (WG) webpage</a> for updated information about LPP Extensions (LPPe) Specification.
\li The <a href="http://technical.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/release_program/mlp_v31.aspx" target="_blank"><b>OMA Mobile Location Protocol (MLP) V3.1</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.
