3 Introduction -In time metrology, different techniques can be involved for the time transfer, basically TWSTFT (Two Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer), GPS CV (Common View) and GPS AV (All in View). -In recent years, many national timing laboratories have collocated geodetic GPS receivers together with their traditional GPS/GLONASS CV/AV receivers and TWSTFT equipments. -CCTF, at its 17th meeting in September 2006, passed a recommendation Concerning the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) carrier phase techniques for time and frequency transfer in International Atomic Time (TAI). -Several works have been performed in order to evaluate the time and frequency transfer capabilities of PPP, leading the BIPM to start to regarly compute TAI links, providing a much improved statistical uncertainty. The PPP algorithm used for the BIPM TAI link computation has been developed by the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). 3
