Abstract: The integer precise point positioning (IPPP) technique significantly improves the accuracy of positioning and time and frequency transfer by restoring the integer nature of carrier-phase ambiguities. However, in practical applications, IPPP performance is often degraded by day-boundary discontinuities and instances of incorrect ambiguity resolution, which can compromise the reliability of time transfer. To address these challenges and enable continuous, robust, and stable IPPP time transfer, this study proposes an effective approach that utilizes narrow-lane ambiguities to absorb receiver clock jumps, combined with a robust sliding-window weighting strategy that fully exploits multi-epoch information. This method effectively mitigates day-boundary discontinuities and employs adaptive thresholding to enhance error detection and mitigate the impact of incorrect ambiguity resolution. Experimental results show that at an averaging time of 76,800 s, the frequency stabilities of GPS, Galileo, and BDS IPPP reach 4.838 × 10−16, 4.707 × 10−16, and 5.403 × 10−16, respectively. In the simulation scenario, the carrier-phase residual under the IGIII scheme is 6.7 cm, whereas the robust sliding-window weighting method yields a lower residual of 5.2 cm, demonstrating improved performance. In the zero-baseline time link, GPS IPPP achieves stability at the 10−17 level. Compared to optical fiber time transfer, the GPS IPPP solution demonstrates superior long-term performance in differential analysis. For both short- and long-baseline links, IPPP consistently outperforms the PPP float solution and IGS final products. Specifically, at an averaging time of 307,200 s, IPPP improves average frequency stability by approximately 29.3% over PPP and 32.6% over the IGS final products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
