Evaluation of Network RTK Positioning Performance Based on BDS-3 New Signal System

The BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS-3) has been deployed and provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services for users all over the world. On the basis of BDS-2 system signals, BDS-3 adds B1C, B2a, B2b, and other signals to realize compatibility and interoperability with other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Network real-time kinematic (RTK) technology is an important real-time regional high-precision GNSS positioning technology. Combined with the network RTK high-precision service platform software developed by the author’s research group and the measured data of a provincial continuously operating reference station (CORS) in Hubei, this paper preliminarily evaluates the network RTK service performance under the new signal system of BDS-3. The results show that single BDS-3 adopts the new signal combination (B1C+B2a) and transition signal combination (B1I+B3I) when providing virtual reference station (VRS) services, the RTK fixation rate of the terminal is above 95%, and the horizontal and elevation accuracies are within 1cm and 2 cm, respectively, which meets the requirements of providing high-precision network RTK services by a single BDS-3 system. In addition, the positioning accuracy of BDS-2 is relatively poor, while the accuracy of BDS-3 is better than global positioning systems (GPS) and BDS-2. The combined processing effect of the B1I+B3I transition signal of BDS-2/3 is optimal, the accuracy of E and N directions is better than 0.5 cm, and the accuracy of U direction is better than 1.5 cm. It can be seen from the atmosphere correction accuracy, regional error modeling accuracy, and network RTK terminal positioning accuracy that the service effect of the B1C+B2a combination is slightly better than that of the B1I+B3I combination. When a single BDS-3 constellation provides network RTK services, it is recommended to use the B1C+B2a combination as the main frequency solution, and when the BDS-2/3 constellation provides service, it is recommended to use the B1I+B3I combination as the main frequency solution.

Experimental Research on Narrowband Interference Suppression of GNSS Signals

The navigation satellites are running at a high altitude of 20000 km from the ground, and the satellite signals arriving at the ground are very weak, such as the C/A code on the L1 band, which is only -160 dBW. In complex urban environments, especially when there is an occlusion, the signal power will be even lower. Low power causes the signal to be easily disturbed, where suppressed interference is the most common method of interference. The purpose of this paper is to experiment with the BPSK and BOC signal system to do the narrowband suppression of interference analysis and set up the actual test environment, based on the commonly used LMS algorithm for the two systems of narrowband interference performance contrast analysis, and throughout the simulation, it can be seen that the two improved algorithms can effectively suppress narrowband interference, thus improving the anti-interference performance of satellite navigation receiver.

Performance Analysis of Navigation Signal Based on FH-BOC Modulation System

Based on the traditional BOC modulation system, a new navigation signal system based on FH-BOC is proposed in this paper. The simulation and verification of FH-BOC signal are carried out, and the modulation characteristics, code tracking performance and anti-interference performance of FH-BOC signal are analyzed, and the advantages and disadvantages of the modified system are verified. The results show that FH-BOC signal has good ranging and anti-interference ability, which is suitable for navigation system and can reduce the ambiguity of BOC signal’s secondary peak to a certain extent. At the same time, the T has important scientific significance and application value to improve the countermeasure capability of other satellite navigation systems.

Tandem Design of Bus Priority Based on a Pre-Signal System

Giving buses priority is an important measure to improve the attractiveness of public transport and to reduce urban traffic congestion. Reducing bus service delays as much as possible will have a positive impact on urban traffic. Based on the pre-signal system, a bus at an intersection with a left-turn special phase is optimized by “tandem design”. The design model is applied to the entrance of an intersection to study the process of vehicle arrival and departure at the main signal and pre-signal, and to calculate and analyze the delay changes of buses, straight social vehicles (meaning vehicles other than those required to be open to traffic) and left-turn vehicles before and after the adoption of “tandem design”. The results show that when the vehicle capacity at the intersection is saturated, the delays to buses and the delays of left-turn vehicles will be significantly reduced once the “tandem design” is adopted at the entrance of a cross intersection with a special left-turn phase. However, it has little effect on the delay of straight-on vehicles; with this system, the total delay experienced by straight vehicles will be reduced to one cycle.
