Note: SBAS – Satellite Based Augmentation System
SBAS is a civil aviation safety-critical system that supports wide-area or regional augmentation through the use of geostationary satellites Keywords: (1) Civil aviation safety-critical system, ICAO SARPs (2) Augmentation SBAS enhance existing GNSS by mainly providing integrity and improving accuracy

SBAS transmits (a) integrity, (b) ranging information, and (c) correction messages: (a) Integrity is enhanced by sending alerts to users to not track the failed satellites identified as having large signal errors. (b) Signal availability is improved as the SBAS satellite transmits additional L1 ranging signal. (c) Accuracy is enhanced through the transmission of wide- area corrections for range errors, such as satellite orbits, clocks, and improved ionospheric information.
