Abstract
In 2018, China established the primary constellation of the BeiDou-3 global navigation satellite system (BDS-3), and the construction of this satellite system is due to be completed in 2020. The signal emitted by BDS-3 will provide global positioning, navigation and timing services. This study assessed the performance of network real-time kinematic (NRTK) in reference to the new BDS-3 signals. The ambiguity resolution, retrieval, and interpolation of the double-differenced (DD) observation corrections and positioning precision are assessed based on datasets collected using four SR480 receivers that track the open signals of BDS-3. Subsequently, the NRTK, using the combined BDS-2 and BDS-3 measurements, is compared with the NRTK using only BDS-2 measurements. In addition, the positioning results of NRTK are compared with those of RTK. The results show that the DD atmospheric delay corrections with centimeter-level accuracy can be derived from the network of regional reference stations, and the positioning accuracy of NRTK is improved by incorporating the BDS-3 measurements.
