Design of the NCI Signal for BeiDou System Based on CCSK

Abstract

Currently, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has been a mature satellite navigation system. However, the transmission rate of the navigation signal is low. A novel Navigation and Communication Integrated (NCI) signal had been proposed in our previous work, its transmission rate was improved compared with the traditional navigation signal. In addition, an optimization algorithm was proposed to avoid cross-correlation interference between the navigation signal and the communication signal. Based on the above theoretical system, this paper gives a specific design for the BDS. The communication signal used in BDS is selected basing on the optimization algorithm, and the original BDS signal is used as the navigation signal. In addition, the error correction coding and interleaving technique in BDS are applied to the NCI signal to further improve the compatibility between the signal and BDS. The simulation results verify the superiority of the optimization algorithm. It illustrates each communication signal selected is suitable for the navigation signal of each satellite in BDS.
