Models and performance of SBAS and PPP of BDS

Satellite Based Augmentation System(SBAS)is one of the services provided by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS).It broadcasts four types of diferential corrections to improve user application performance.These corrections include the State Space Representation(SSR)based satellite orbit/clock corrections and ionospheric grid corrections,and the Observation Space Representation(OSR)based partition comprehensive corrections.The algorithms generating these SBAS corrections are not introduced in previous researches,and the user SBAS positioning performance with the contribution of BDS-3 has not been evaluated.In this paper,we present the BDS SBAS algorithms for these diferential corrections in detail.Four types of Precise Point Positioning(PPP)function models for BDS Dual-Frequency(DF)and Single-Frequency(SF)users using the OSR and SSR parameters are also proposed.One week of data in 2020 is collected at 20 reference stations including the observations of both BeiDou-2 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-2)and BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System(BDS-3)satellites,and the PPP under various scenarios are performed using all the datasets and the BDS SBAS broadcast corrections.The results show that the performance of BDS-2/BDS-3 combination is superior to that of BDS-2 only constellation.The positioning errors in Root Mean Square(RMS)for the static DF PPP are better than 8 cm/15 cm in horizontal/vertical directions,while for the static SF PPP are 11 cm/24 cm.In the scenarios of simulated kinematic PPP,three Dimension(3D)positioning errors can reach 0.5 m in less than 10 min for the DF PPP and 30 min for the SF PPP,and the RMSs of the DF and SF PPP are better than 17 cm/21 cm and 20 cm/32 cm in horizontal/vertical directions.In a real-time single-and dual-frequency kinematic positioning test,the positioning errors of all three components can reach 0.5 m within 30 min,and the positioning accuracy after solution convergence in the N,E and U directions is better than 0.3 m.
