INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope
The GIOVE-A + B Navigation Signal in Space Interface Control Document provides a description of the Galileo navigation signals transmitted by the GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B spacecrafts in the bands E1, E6, and E5. These GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B signals are representative for the future Galileo navigation signals in terms of spreading code chip rates, spreading symbols, spectrum shape, and data rates, with exception of the E1-A signal type of GIOVE-B, and the data rates signals E1-A and E6-A of both GIOVE s/c. Future Galileo signals can be different especially w.r.t. actual spreading codes, navigation message format and detailed navigation message content.
1.2
Introduction
Galileo is the European global navigation satellite system, providing a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. It is inter-operable with GPS and GLONASS, the two other currently available global satellite navigation systems. The fully deployed Galileo system is foreseen to consist of 30 satellites (27 operational + 3 spares), positioned in three circular Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) planes at a nominal average orbit semi-major axis of 29601.297 km, and at an inclination of the orbital planes of 56 degrees with reference to the equatorial plane. Galileo navigation signals will provide global coverage for the transmitted signals on all carriers. Figure 1 specifies the RF Signal-In-Space interface between the space and user segment. Three independently usable signals are permanently transmitted by all Galileo satellites: E5, E6 and E1. The E5 link is further sub-divided into two RF links denoted E5a and E5b.
Figure 1: Space Vehicle / Navigation User Interface The GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B spacecrafts (s/c) as part of the GSTB-V2 activity nominally provide signals on two out of the three carriers E5, E6, and E1 of figure 1 at a time, in the combinations E1-E5 or E1-E6. The transmission status will be published on the GIOVE web site http://www.giove.esa.int together with status and monitoring information for authorized users.
The nominal GIOVE-A/B orbit parameters are fitting to the Galileo constellation parameters as shown in table 1 below, except for the semi-major axis of GIOVE-A which is typically approximately 30km above the nominal value. Table 1: Main Galileo Constellation Parameters
Parameter Constellation parameters Nominal orbit eccentricity Nominal orbit inclination Nominal orbit semi-major axis Value Walker(27,3,1) plus 3 spares 0 56 29600 km
Detailed orbit estimations generated by the GIOVE-A/B ground segment (GIOVE Processing Center, GPC) are being published on the GIOVE Web site. GIOVE-A/B TLE information can also be obtained from the Celestrak web site (http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/galileo.txt). Wherever possible, definitions and nomenclatures used in this document are following the conventions used in [RD 1] Galileo OS SIS ICD.
GENERAL TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 2.1

2.1.1.1
General terms and definitions

Signal definitions
Carrier and frequency channel
A frequency channel is the transmission band covered by a navigation signal including all its components and is denoted as [X channel] where X can be equal to E1, E6, E5, E5a, or E5b. A carrier is the unmodulated centre frequency of a frequency channel and is denoted as [X carrier], where X can equal to E1, E6, E5, E5a, or E5b.
2.1.1.2 2.1.1.3
Carrier component [Navigation] signal
A carrier component is the in-phase or quadrature modulation signal of a modulated carrier. A nominally modulated carrier X is denoted as [X navigation signal] or [X signal], with X equal to one of E1, E6, E5, E5a, or E5b.
2.1.1.4
[Navigation] signal component
A [navigation] signal component is one of the spreading sequences modulated onto one common carrier, and is denoted as [X-Y navigation signal component] or [X signal component] with X one of E1, E6, E5, E5a, or E5b, and Y one of I, Q, or A, B, C. The I, Q notation is usually applied if only two signal components are multiplexed onto one carrier. Each [navigation] signal component has its own spreading code and can carry its own data modulation. A signal component carrying data modulation can be denoted as [X-Y data channel]. Signal components that do not contain data modulation can be denoted as [X-Y pilot].

Figure 2: Galileo Frequency Plan The frequency bands have been selected in the allocated spectrum for Radio Navigation Satellite Services (RNSS) and in addition to that, E5a, E5b and E1 bands are included in the allocated spectrum for Aeronautical Radio Navigation Services (ARNS), employed by Civil-Aviation users, and allowing dedicated safety-critical applications. Galileo carrier frequencies are shown in table 3. Table 3: Carrier Frequency per Signal Signal E5 (E5a+E5b) E5a E5b E6 E1 Carrier Frequency 1191.795 MHz 1176.450 MHz 1207.140 MHz 1278.750 MHz 1575.420 MHz
All GIOVE-A signals are CDMA type spread spectrum signals, being compatible with the set of Galileo navigation signals as described in [RD 1]. The GIOVE-A spread spectrum signals are transmitted including different ranging codes per signal component on each carrier and per carrier frequency.
NAVIGATION SIGNALS 5.1 Transmit polarization and Rx reference bandwidth
All emitted GIOVE-A/B navigation signals are RHCP. The Rx reference bandwidths are specified in table 4, and are to be interpreted as minimum Rx bandwidth required to provide the service, covering all signal components of each carrier.
Table 4: GIOVE-A Navigation SIS Rx Reference Bandwidth Signal Rx Reference Bandwidth E5 [ E5a [ E5b E6 E1 51.150 MHz 20.460 MHz ] 20.460 MHz ] 40.920 MHz 32.736 MHz
The brackets around the entries for E5a and E5b indicate that these signals are part of the E5 signal in its full bandwidth. Tx bandwidth limitation is applied only to the E5 wideband signal in total.
5.2
GIOVE Navigation Signal Parameters
GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B spacecrafts provide simultaneous signals on two out of the possible carrier frequencies E1, E6, E5. The combination of carriers is subject to the mission planning and will change with time. Possible combinations are E1-E5 and E1-E6. The nominal emitted signals will follow the definition given in the following chapters. Note that for experimental purposes, transmission of non-nominal modulations not described in this SIS ICD is possible for limited times.

Navigation signals for extended experimentation
All parameters as e.g. user received power that are listed in this document are valid for the nominal navigation SIS configuration described herein. Additional configurations of transmitted signals are
possible for experimental purposes. These configurations are not described within this GIOVE SIS ICD. If being used, their details can be provided together with the mission planning on the GIOVE website.
5.3
User received power
GIOVE minimum received power levels as received at the output of a hypothetic 0 dBic RHCP lossless user antenna, for elevations above 10 and on earth surface, are defined by table 6. Note that these values also assume zero dB losses due to propagation effects. Table 6: Received Power

Typical power in percent of the total power of the channel, for the ideal signal before band limiting. The remainder to the full 100% per carrier covers power of eventual inter-modulation products used to approximate constant envelope modulation. Tx and Rx bandwidth limitation will further affect the power ratio between the signal components. User minimum received power level is given for terrestrial users at the output of a (hypothetical) ideally matched and isotropic 0 dBi RHCP receiver antenna with unobstructed line of sight to the source, and excluding propagation effects (multipath, shadowing, atmospheric and ionospheric attenuation). The signal source (spacecraft) is assumed to be above 10 elevation angle of the receiver antenna. The satellite is assumed to transmit the nominal navigation signal-in-space.
Maximum received power levels are E5 E6 E1 Minimum received power (table 6) plus 4.5dB Minimum received power (table 6) plus 3dB Minimum received power (table 6) plus 3dB
SIGNAL GENERATION
In the following sections, modulation expressions are given for the power normalized complex envelope (i.e. base-band version) s(t) of a modulated (band-pass) signal S(t). Both are described in terms of inphase and quadrature components by the generic expressions in eq. (1) below

The E6 signal is generated from the DE6-A and DE6-B navigation data streams and the CE6-A, CE6-B, and CE6-C ranging code signals, to form the baseband signal sE6 which is then modulated onto the E6 carrier. The modulation parameters are to be found in table 5.

The inter-modulation product IME6(t) is generated on board and is used to approximate constant envelope modulation of the signal before HPA. Before transmit bandwidth limitation, typically about 11% of the total transmit power of the E6 modulated carrier belong to IME6(t).

E1 GIOVE-B: BOCc(15,2.5) + CBOC
The generic representation of the E1 signal generation for GIOVE-B is described by figure 8 below. The CBOC argument syntax used e.g. in table 5 is defined as CBOC(m1,m2,n,r), where m1, m2 represent the two subcarrier frequencies, n the code chiprate, all normalized to 1.023 MHz, and r the power ratio of subcarrier 1 to subcarrier 2. The CBOC signal is provided by GIOVE-B to explore its performance, useability and side effects, including its expected backward compatibility to BOC(1,1) with moderate losses and correlation deformations, for a receiver using a BOC(1,1) reference to track E1-B and E1-C. The E1 operational mode for CBOC is not signaled within the navigation message and will be provided only via the GIOVE web site.

Note that the representation of spreading sequences used in equation 14 does not include the subcarriers. By this choice the spreading sequences for components B and C remain to be bipolar sequences. CBOC mode signal parameters for the E1 signal are defined in table 5. The E1 composite signal is then generated according to equation 15 below:
s E1 (t ) =
eE1 B (t ) [P scE1 B , a (t ,0 ) + Q scE1 B ,b (t ,0)] eE1C (t ) [P scE1C , a (t ,0 ) Q scE1C ,b (t ,0 )] AE1 + j [S e (t ) IM (t )] sc E1 A E 1 A, a t , 2
(15)
The scaling factor AE1 can be used to adjust the baseband representation to unit average power. The subcarriers are defined as
sc X (t , 0, sc ) = sgn[sin (2 Rs , X t + 0, sc )] .
(16)
The parameters P an Q are to be chosen such as that the combined power of the scE1-B,b and the scE1-C,b sub carrier component equals 1/11 of the total power of eE1-B plus eE1-C, before application of any bandwidth limitation. All three parameters P, Q, S are to be chosen such as to deliver the desired 50% power sharing between E1-A and E1-B+C power before Tx bandwidth limitation, yielding
P= 10 , 11 Q= 1 , 11
S= 2.
(17)
If supportive for the signal generation on board the spacecraft, the multiplexing scheme can reduce envelope fluctuations of the complex base band signal by combining an intermodulation component IM(t) to the quadrature component of the carrier. IM(t) is a function of the signal vector point being transmitted at time t and is not foreseen to be used by a user receiver. The actual choice of IM(t) will depend on payload implementation aspects.
SPREADING CODE CHARACTERISTICS

GIOVE spreading codes consist of a primary spreading sequence (primary code) and a secondary code used for pilots and for signals with low data rate. The secondary code is used to modulate the primary code like a deterministic data modulation, to generate a total code length that is a multiple of the primary code length. With GIOVE-B, the first memory codes are introduced for E1-A and E6-A primary codes. The other primary spreading codes are generated as truncated combined M-sequences that can be implemented using linear feedback shift register (LFSR) techniques. Secondary codes are short memory stored pseudo random sequences.

(*)
The primary code of the E1-C pilot has twice the length of the primary code on E1-B. The chip rate of the secondary code of the E1-C pilot channel is half of the symbol rate of the E1-B data channel.
7.2
Spreading code generation
When considering a primary code with length N chips and an associated secondary code with length NS chips, then the resulting combined (Tiered) code will follow the description in figure 10 below.
Figure 10: Code construction principle and synchronization Primary codes and secondary codes are combined by using exclusive-or logic. If applicable, data modulation is applied to the full code, again using the exclusive-or combination of code and data symbol(s).
7.3
Primary code parameters and assignment of secondary codes
GIOVE-A and -B primary codes are generated using LFSR pairs. The LFSR parameters are shown in table 10, together with the reference to the secondary code (see table 11). The primary code generation process starts with the register initialization values specified in table 10. After generation of the required number of chips (table 9) the registers are reset to the initialization value and the generation is restarted.

Primary Memory Codes
The primary code representation for a code of length L used in this chapter is using a left aligned, right filled hexadecimal representation. It assigns groups of four chips {c4n, c4n+1, c4n+2, c4n+3}, n = 0ceil{L/4}-1 to each hexadecimal nibble, starting from left with the first transmitted code chip. The MSB of each nibble is always being the first chip transmitted. If the code length is not a multiple of 4, the last group of (less than four) original code chips is amended with additional zero chips to the right.

NAVIGATION MESSAGE 8.1 Navigation Message Validity Signature
During payload, satellite or system startup, until valid navigation data is available the navigation message data is empty, that is, it does not contain information useable for positioning. This empty default value can be identified by verifying two indicators: Check the satellite health (chapter 8.3.7) for invalidity of the navigation message. Check the value of the ephemeris (chapter 8.3.5) square root semimajor axis (A)1/2 to be equal to zero. If at least one of these two parameters is indicating an invalid message, the message will consist of test data and is not to be used for positioning.

Navigation Message Data Content

GIOVE Galileo System Time (GST) and Week Number
The GIOVE GST is given as 30-bit (OB) binary number composed of two parts as follows: The Week Number is an integer counter that gives the sequential week number from the origin of the Galileo Time. This parameter is coded on 10 bits, which covers 1024 weeks. Then the counter is reset to zero to cover additional weeks with week number modulo 1024. The Time of Week (TOW) is defined as the number of seconds that have occurred since the transition from the previous week. The TOW shall cover an entire week from 0 to 604799 seconds and is reset to zero at the end of each week. Time stamps are inserted in the navigation message at regular intervals by the broadcasting satellite to identify the GST in multiples of 1 second. Table 23: GIOVE GST Parameters
Parameter WN TOW Definition Week Number Time of Week Galileo System Time Bits 10 (MSB) 20 (LSB) 30 Scale factor 1 1 Unit week s
The GIOVE GST start epoch shall be 00:00 UT on Sunday January 06 1980 (midnight between January 05th and 06th). At the start epoch, GIOVE GST shall be synchronous with UTC. The GIOVE-A broadcast GST value refers to the time of the transmission (TOT) of the first Navigation Message Data Page (PGCNT = 1) at the start of the Navigation Message Data Frame containing the TOW, and there to the leading edge of the first chip of the first code sequence of the first page symbol (first symbol of the SYNC field). The GIOVE-B broadcast GST value refers to the time of the transmission (TOT) of the start of the Navigation Message Data Page containing the TOW, and there to the leading edge of the first chip of the first code sequence of the first page symbol (first symbol of the SYNC field).
8.3.2
Satellite Clock Correction Parameters
The difference between system GST and the time of the on-board physical clock, measured at the antenna phase centre and for the dual frequency combination (X) = (f1,f2), is called satellite clock correction term tSV(X). This term is approximated by the following 2nd order polynomial:
t SV ( X ) = a f 0 ( X ) + a f 1 ( X )(t t 0 c ( X )) + a f 2 ( X )(t t 0 c ( X )) + t r
2
where af0(X), af1(X) and af2(X) are the polynomial correction coefficients corresponding to phase error, frequency error and rate of change of frequency error, and t is the time in GST. Terms of higher order than 2 have been omitted. The parameter t0c(X) is a reference time (in sec) for the clock correction relative to end/start of week transition. tr is a relativistic correction term, given by t = F e A1/ 2 sin (E ) [s]
with the orbital parameters (e, A1/2, E) from the ephemeris (chapter 8.3.5) and F the constant:
F = 2
c2
= 4.442807309 10 10 s/m1/2
Consequently, the coefficients af0, af1, af2, and t0c are being transmitted in the Navigation Message Data according to the following format: Table 24: Clock Correction Parameters

All navigation messages transmitted on the signal components of a GIOVE-A and -B s/c provide clock correction information for the same pair of navigation signal components. The selected pair out of the possible combinations of navigation signal components is being signaled within the navigation data health section of the satellite health flags (chapter 8.3.7).
8.3.3
Note:
Estimated Group Delay Differential (TGD)

The TGD fields of the GIOVE-A/B navigation message(s) are being used for experimental purposes and are currently not be used for positioning or timing services. The field descriptions below are given for completeness of the message definition, to describe a possible future use.
Equipment group delay is defined as the delay between the L-band radiated output of each individual ranging signal from the S/C (measured at the antenna centre of phase) and the output of that S/Cs onboard signal generation source. The delay consists of a bias term and an uncertainty. The induced effect of the equipment group delay is an error in the GST estimated by the user. Common mode equipment group delays of frequency pairs are covered by the corresponding on board clock correction. Differences in equipment group delay between different carriers are identified within the group delay differential or Bias Group Delay (BGD) TGD, provided in the navigation message. The BGD is coded in a 16 bit (1 low byte + 1 high byte) field with a scale factor of 2-32.
Parameter Definition Bits Scale factor Unit (*) -32 Bias Group Delay 16 2 Seconds TGD (*) Parameters so indicated are twos complement with the sign bit occupying the MSB

and tX and tY are the GIOVE-A/B System Time of Transmissions of the navigation signal components X and Y from the S/C antenna phase centre. These differential group delay parameters allow deriving the appropriate S/C clock correction value for alternative signal combinations from the transmitted clock correction parameters.
Only one BGD value TGD is transmitted within all GIOVE-A/B navigation messages. Which BGD out of the possible combinations of navigation signal components is being provided is signaled within the navigation data health section of the satellite health flags (chapter 8.3.7). For illustration, the following table shows example configurations. In this example the dual frequency s/c clock correction tSV(X,Y) is calculated according to section 8.3.2, using the broadcast clock correction coefficients af0, af1, af2 that are computed by the ground segment based on E1-BC/E5a dual frequency measurements as signaled in the navigation data health information. The dual frequency clock correction is then modified using TGD to compute the single frequency clock correction tSV(Z) with Z{X,Y}. Table 25: Example computation for satellite single frequency clock correction
Used signals E1 (Single frequency) E5a (Single frequency) Clock Correction Computation
t SV (E1 BC) = t SV (E1 - BC, E5a ) TGD (E1 - BC, E5a )

t SV (E5a ) = t SV (E1 - BC, E5a ) E1, E5aTGD (E1 - BC, E5a )
8.3.4
Computation of the Time of Transmission in GST
The estimated satellite signal time of transmission TOTC in GST can be computed for the signal combination using these time correction data according to
TOTC ( X ) = TOTm ( X ) t SV ( X ) ,
where (X) = (f1, f2) is the dual frequency combination f1 and f2 to correct for ionospheric path delay. TOTC(X) is the corrected satellite TOT in GST, for the signal combination X TOTm(X) is the physical satellite TOT for the signal combination X as derived from the navigation message and the dual frequency code phase measurements. If a receiver performs single frequency measurements on the signal component Z, then the dual frequency clock correction tSV(X) is to be replaced by the appropriate single frequency correction tSV(Z) as defined in chapter 8.3.3.
8.3.5
Ephemeris Parameters
The GIOVE-A/B ephemeris is composed by 15 parameters (6 Keplerian parameters, 6 harmonic coefficients, inclination and LAN rates plus mean motion correction). The parameter t0e is the reference time (in sec) for the ephemeris relative to end/start of week transition. Table 26: Ephemeris Parameters

Issue of Data
For GIOVE-A/B a System Issue of Data (SIOD) of 9 bits total is maintained within the system. A change in the SIOD value indicates one or more changes in ephemeris, clock correction, almanac, UTC data of the navigation message provided by the Galileo ground segment for broadcast. Note that these modifications of the navigation message content are also associated to appropriate updates of the reference times t0c, t0e, t0a, t0t, but these reference times are transmitted only within a subset of the affected Navigation Message Pages. SIOD counters are also used to indicate data set cutover on board. The nominal validity interval (fit interval) for the GIOVE-A/B ephemeris and clock correction is 4 hours minimum. The nominal validity interval for the GIOVE-A/B almanac is typically 2 days.
8.3.6.1
IOD Index
The broadcast IOD in Navigation Message Data Page (ephemeris page 1) equals to the SIOD (UL) 6 MSB.
8.3.6.2
SNF Index
A specific field is used in the Navigation Message Data Page structure (figure 14) to support data integrity and to improve reacquisition performance. The purpose of this SNF is to allow rapid determination of changes in the Satellite Navigation data (ephemeris, clock, almanac), to support Navigation Message Data base maintenance. For data rate limitation reason, only 3 bits are used to code the SNF value. The SNF equals the SIOD (UL) 3 LSB: SNF = SIOD mod 7 For GIOVE-A/B, the increment of SIOD between subsequent transmitted navigation message batches is not necessarily continuous. The user receiver is required to check IOD as well as SNF for changes.
8.3.7
Satellite Health
Transmitted health data consists of 13 (UL) bits referring to the transmitting S/C, separated in two blocks as described in tables 28 and 29.

Almanac S/C Health Status
Additionally to the orbit and clock parameters data provided in the almanacs, a predicted S/C health status is provided for each of the S/Cs, giving indications on the S/Cs signal health and S/Cs NAV data health. The Health Status contains 11 (UL) bits. Table 33: Almanac S/C Health field
Parameter Definition Bits Scale Factor Unit Values Satellite health S/C Health == 0 is satellite not active or unhealthy, 1 n/a n/a {0,1} == 1 if s/c active and healthy Reserved Value may vary, standard value is all bits = 0 10 n/a n/a bit field
The almanac s/c health status is intended as an indication for the receiver, to support signal search. It can be overridden by the more up to date ephemeris health information, and by operational events. In principle a satellite can be inactive (e.g. due to a failure, before almanac update) despite of the almanac transmitting an active status, and vice versa (since the system will attempt for maximum availability).
8.3.10.2
Empty almanac entries
The almanac message for any non-operational satellite contains all bits of M0, af0, af1 and almanac s/c health (section 8.3.10.1) set to zero.
8.3.11 UTC/GST Conversion

Note: The UTC/GST Conversion fields of the GIOVE-A/B navigation message(s) are being used for experimental purposes. At the time of this ICD they can not be used for positioning or timing services. The field descriptions below are given for completeness of the message definition, to describe a possible future use.

Parameters so indicated are twos complement with the sign bit occupying the MSB
The UTC time tUTC is computed through 3 different cases, depending on the epoch of a possible leap second adjustment (scheduled future or recent past) given by DN, the day at the end of which the leap second becomes effective, and week number WNLSF to which DN is referenced. Day one of DN is the first day relative to the end/start of week and WNLSF is the Galileo week number modulo 256. Define furthermore tE GST as estimated by the user through its GST determination algorithm, WN week number to which tE is referenced, modulo 256.
Case a: Whenever the leap second adjustment time indicated by WNLSF and DN is not in the past (relative to the user's present time), and the user's present time does not fall in the time span which starts six hours prior to the effective time (=DN+3/4) and ends six hours after the effective time at (=DN+5/4), tUTC is computed according to the following equations:
tUTC = t LS + A0 + A1 (t E tot + 604800 (WN WN t )) [s] ,

and UTC time can be calculated from tE (GST, estimated) as:
tUTC = (t E tUTC )
[modulo 86400s]
Case b: Whenever the user's current time falls within the time span of six hours prior to the effective time to six hours after the effective time, tUTC is computed according to the following equation:
tUTC = W
[Modulo (86400s + tLSF - tLS)]
where W = (tE - tUTC 43200s) [Modulo 86400s] + 43200s and tUTC is as in case a.
Case c: Whenever the effectivity time of the leap second event, as indicated by the WNLSF and DN values, is in the "past" (relative to the user's current time) and the users present time does not fall in the time span which starts six hours prior to the effective time and ends six hours after the effective time, tUTC is computed according to the following equation:
tUTC = (t E tUTC )
[modulo 86400s]
where tUTC is computed as: tUTC = t LSF + A0 + A1 (t E t ot + 604800 (WN WN t ))
8.3.12 GPS to GIOVE-A/B Galileo System Time Offset (GGTO)

Note: The GGTO fields of the GIOVE-A/B navigation message(s) are being used for experimental purposes. At the time of this ICD they can not be used for positioning or timing services. The field descriptions below are given for completeness of the message definition, to describe a possible future use.
The GPS to GIOVE-A/B Galileo System Time Offset (GGTO) parameters shall be formatted according to the values stated in the following table. Table 35: Parameters for the GPS time to GST offset computation
Parameter GGTOval A0G A1G t0G WN0G Definition Bits Scale factor Units Validity flag, 1 indicates valid GGTO 1 n/a n/a Constant term of the offset tsystems 20 (*) 2-32 s Rate of change of the offset tsystems 12 (*) 2-51 s/s GGTO data reference Time of Week 8 3600 s GGTO data reference Week Number 6 1 week GPS Time to GST Offset Parameters 47
* Parameters so indicated are twos complement, with the sign bit occupying the MSB
In case GGTO is not available or not valid, the GGTOval flag will signal a logical 0. Note that the possible range of offsets A0G is up to 122s. This is required due to a speciality of the GIOVE time scale, which is, after a coarse initial synchronisation, free running over the operational time of the s/c or until the range of A0G is exceeded. This implementation is different from the foreseen implementation of the final Galileo system time scale. The user evaluates the difference between the GIOVE-A/B Galileo and the GPS time scales by the expression
t Systems = A0G + A1G (TOW t 0G + 604800 ((WN WN 0G ) mod 64 ))

with tSystems offset GST minus GPS time (seconds) TOW GIOVE-A/B GST TOW (seconds) WN GIOVE-A/B GST Week Number corresponding to GST TOW and A0G, A1G, t0G and WN0G according to table 35.
8.3.13 Spare data

Spare data bits can be set to a random value, to a constant value, or to a series of alternating 0/1. Spare data may be re-defined and change at any time during system operation. The user is expected not to evaluate spare data.
