Abstract

With the rapid development of technologies such as autonomous driving and robotic navigation, the demand for accurate and reliable positioning results with BDS has increased. The current status and future development of BDS high precision services are reviewed. The operational PPP-B2b of BDS-3 achieves positioning accuracy at decimeter-level within 14 min and has the drawbacks in regional coverage and long convergence time compared with the international counterparts, such as CLAS of QZSS and HAS of Galileo. A development frame for multi-layer BDS high-precision services is proposed by considering its construction cost, compatibility of user terminal, operating maintenance burden, and service level. The global high-precision service with the improved orbit and clock accuracy enhanced with the inter-satellite link is taken as the most fundamental layer. By incorporating inter-satellite link observations, the orbit errors URE and clock errors are significantly reduced to approximately 0.05 m and 0.16 ns, respectively, which will expand PPP service to global. Based on this, the regional PPP-AR and PPP-RTK services with improved convergence performance are taken as the second layer. With PPP-AR, the convergence time drops to 10 min. With PPP-RTK, the convergence time would be further shortened to less than 3 min. The LEO enhanced PPP service is taken as the third layer which overcomes both drawbacks of the long convergence time of the inter-satellite link enhanced service (the first layer) and the regional coverage of the PPP-AR/PPP-RTK services (the second layer). The simulation results show that by introducing a LEO constellation of 288 satellites, the LEO enhanced PPP can achieve positioning accuracy better than 5 cm within approximately 1 min. In addition, the integration of LEO constellation and PPP-RTK is further proposed to enable instantaneous convergence. The implementation challenges are also presented.
