    1) The study compares the positioning performance of China's BeiDou satellite navigation system to GPS through single point positioning, differential GPS, and ambiguity resolution with dual-frequency observations in Shanghai. 2) Results show BeiDou single point positioning is less precise than GPS due to orbit and clock errors, but precision improves with precise ephemerides. Differential GPS and ambiguity resolution perform similarly between the two systems. 3) Integrating GPS and BeiDou measurements provides better positioning accuracy and integrity than using either system alone according to RAIM analysis. Updating the weighting matrix through Helmert variance component estimation further improves the precision of the combined system.

    Session: D1: Emerging GNSS (Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS), Presentation #4
    Time: Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 9:43 a.m.
    Room: Room 204

    BeiDou is a new global satellite navigation system developed by China, which will con-
    sists of 35 satellites when the full global service is available in 2020. By the end of
    2012, there are five Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, four Medium Earth Or-
    bit (MEO) satellites and five Inclined Geosynchronous Satellite Orbit (IGSO) satellites in
    operation for regional coverage. BeiDou signals are code division multiple access
    (CDMA) signals the same as GPS and Galileo. BeiDou uses BeiDou navigation satellite
    system Time (BDT), which has a difference of 14 seconds from GPST (i.e. GPST =
    BDT + 14). BeiDou employs China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000 (CGCS2000),
    which is geocentric and referred to ITRF97 (International Terrestrial Reference Frame
    1997) at the epoch of 2000.0(BeiDou navigation satellite system signal in space inter-
    face control document). The earth ellipsoid defined of CGCS2000 is slightly different
    from WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984) and the difference can be ignored even
    for precise positioning.

    The purpose of this study is to make an investigation of Beidou system performance


    and compare it with that of GPS, to monitor the integrity of GPS/BeiDou constellation
    and to improve the positioning precision of combined GPS/BeiDou.

    To study the BeiDou positioning performance, Single Point Positioning (SPP) with both
    broadcast and precise ephemeris, DGPS and single epoch double difference (DD) am-
    biguity resolution & position performances of BeiDou are researched and compared
    with GPS. In addition, SPP positioning error caused by the differences of broadcast and
    precise orbit and satellite clock offsets are discussed.

    Integrity relates to the level of trust that can be placed in the information provided by
    the navigation system. Is the integrity of combined GPS/BeiDou constellation better
    than that of BeiDou only? Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is used to
    figure out this question. In addition, both internal and external reliability are the most
    important indications of RAIM performance, which are also be analyzed.

    Compared with single GNSS system, the integrated system has more error source
    which would reduce the positioning precision of GPS/BeiDou. At the same time the dif-
    ferent weight matrix and weight ratio affect the positioning results heavily, and the initial
    weight matrix is not the best usually. Reasonable determination of weight matrix is the
    key to build an available integrated system. In this research, Hermert Variance Compo-
    nent Estimation (VCE) is employed to adjust the variance-ratio between GPS and Bei-
    Dou and the weight matrix is updated to improve the positioning precision of integrated
    GPS/BeiDou.
    The experimental data are collected on December 12, 2012 with two receivers in
    Shanghai, China. Dual-frequency observations of both GPS and BeiDou are observed
    and the observation time is from 05:49:20 to 08:11:40 with a sample interval of 5 sec-
    onds. The distance between the two stations is about 5 km.

    From all the experiments of this research, the conclusions can be drawn as below:

    1) The SPP performance of BeiDou in 3D is obviously worse than that of GPS. The
    poor quality of broadcast orbit and satellite clock offsets result in the worse SPP preci-
    sion of BeiDou especially the latter. Furthermore, the positioning errors due to the
    broadcast orbit in direction of horizontal and vertical are 4 m and 10 m, and the errors
    reach to 10 m and 20m due to the satellites clock offsets error.
    2) When the precise ephemeris is adopted, the performance of SPP is much better.
    Moreover, the precisions of BeiDou are slightly better than that of GPS in the directions
    of horizontal (1.5m for GPS and 1.0m for BeiDou), but worse in vertical (3.5m for GPS
    and 5.0m for BeiDou).
    3) The DGPS performance of BeiDou is similar with that of GPS (external accord preci-
    sions: 0.8m in horizontal direction and 2.2m in vertical).
    4) BeiDou single epoch ambiguity resolution performance is better than that of GPS
    considering the percentages of ratio more than 1.5, which result from the more visible
    BeiDou satellites. The DD positioning precisions of BeiDou and GPS are very similar
    (external accord precisions: 15mm in horizontal direction and 16mm in vertical), which
    also point out that the phase measurement of both BeiDou and GPS basically have the
    same high accuracy.
    5) The internal and external reliability of RAIM of BeiDou/GPS constellations are much
    better than that of BeiDou alone. Both MDB (Marginal Detectable Bias) values and the
    positioning error with BeiDou/GPS constellations are smaller than that with BeiDou
    alone, which demonstrates the advantage of the integrated GPS/BeiDou constellation
    significantly.
    6) Helmert VCE is used to update the weight matrix of GPS/BeiDou. The SPP position-
    ing error of integrated system (external accord precisions of GPS/BeiDou: 1.8m in hori-
    zontal direction and 2.7m in vertical direction) fells off remarkably and its precision are
    much better than that of BeiDou and GPS/BeiDou without VCE in 3D. Moreover there
    are nearly the same precisions in GPS system and VCE GPS/BeiDou system.
