“…Numerous investigations have demonstrated that a multi-GNSS approach (e.g., GPS + BeiDou) is able to improve the performance of real-time-kinematic (RTK) positioning, particularly in urban and mountainous areas, where the lack of visible GPS satellite numbers and multipath reflections limit the performance of RTK [55][56][57][58][59]. However, it has been reported that multi-GNSS observations do not noticeably improve the accuracy of static positioning compared to GPS-only observations; somehow, using multi-GNSS observations can even degrade the accuracy of static positioning compared to using GPS-only observations [60][61][62].…”

Shield tunneling under rivers often requires monitoring riverbed deformations in near real-time. However, it is challenging to measure riverbed deformation with conventional survey techniques. This study introduces a comprehensive method that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the USA and the BeiDou navigation satellite system (BeiDou) of China to monitor riverbed deformation during the construction of twin tunnels beneath the Hutuo River in Shijiazhuang, China. A semi-permanent GPS network with one base station outside the river and six rover stations within the river was established for conducting near real-time and long-term monitoring. The distances between the base and the rover antennas are within two kilometers. The network was continuously operating for eight months from April to December 2018. The method is comprised of three components: (1) Monitoring the stability of the base station using precise point positioning (PPP) method, a stable regional reference frame, and a seasonal ground deformation model; (2) monitoring the relative positions of rover stations using the carrier-phase double-difference (DD) positioning method in near real-time; and (3) detecting abrupt and gradual displacements at both base and rover stations using an automated change point detection algorithm. The method is able to detect abrupt positional-changes as minor as five millimeters in near real-time and gradual positional-changes at a couple of millimeters per day within a week. The method has the flexibility of concurrent processing different GPS and BeiDou data sessions (e.g., every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, one day) for diffident monitoring purposes. This study indicates that BeiDou observations can also achieve few-millimeter-accuracy for measuring displacements. Parallel processing GPS and BeiDou observations can improve the reliability of near real-time structural deformation monitoring and minimize false alerts. The method introduced in this article can be applied to other urban areas for near real-time and long-term structural health monitoring.

“…Nowadays, there are abundant GNSS stations, which are able to track triple-frequency BDS signals. In this paper, GNSS data, which were collected from the multi-GNSS experiment (MGEX), crustal movement observation network of China [24], the National BDS Augmentation Service System [25], Curtin GNSS CORS, and Hong Kong SatRef GPS Network stations, were used for BDS triple-frequency receiver-related code bias calibration and validation. These stations are globally distributed and equipped with receivers from seven manufacturers.…”

Global Navigation Satellite System pseudorange biases are of great importance for precise positioning, timing and ionospheric modeling. The existence of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) receiver-related pseudorange biases will lead to the loss of precision in the BDS satellite clock, differential code bias estimation, and other precise applications, especially when inhomogeneous receivers are used. In order to improve the performance of BDS precise applications, two ionosphere-free and geometry-free combinations and ionosphere-free pseudorange residuals are proposed to calibrate the raw receiver-related pseudorange biases of BDS on each frequency. Then, the BDS triple-frequency receiver-related pseudorange biases of seven different manufacturers and twelve receiver models are calibrated. Finally, the effects of receiver-related pseudorange bias are analyzed by BDS single-frequency single point positioning (SPP), single- and dual-frequency precise point positioning (PPP), wide-lane uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation, and ambiguity resolution, respectively. The results show that the BDS SPP performance can be significantly improved by correcting the receiver-related pseudorange biases and the accuracy improvement is about 20% on average. Moreover, the accuracy of single- and dual-frequency PPP is improved mainly due to a faster convergence when the receiver-related pseudorange biases are corrected. On the other hand, the consistency of wide-lane UPD among different stations is improved significantly and the standard deviation of wide-lane UPD residuals is decreased from 0.195 to 0.061 cycles. The average success rate of wide-lane ambiguity resolution is improved about 42.10%.

Multipath error is a main error source in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data processing, which cannot be removed by a differential technique because of the strong relationship with the environment around the station. The multipath effect of the code observables is more complex than that of the carrier-phase observables, especially for BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. In this contribution, we deeply analyzed the characteristic and effect on the precise data processing of GEO satellite multipath errors based on a large number of permanent GNSS stations. A linear combination of code and carrier-phase observables was used to analyze the characteristics of repeatability for BDS GEO’s multipath. Then, a correction method was proposed to eliminate the multipath error of the GEO code observables, based on wavelet transform. The experiment data were collected at 83 globally distributed stations, from multi-GNSS experiments and national BDS augmentation systems, from days 32 to 66 in 2017. The results show that the systematic multipath variation component of the GEO code observables can be obtained with wavelet transform, which can significantly contribute to correcting the multipath error of GEO satellites. The average root mean square error (RMSE) of the multipath series is decreased by approximately 19.5%, 20.2%, and 7.5% for B1, B2, and B3, respectively. In addition, some experiments, including ionospheric delay extraction and satellite clock estimation, were conducted in simulated real-time mode in order to validate the effect of the correction methods. For the ionospheric delay estimation, the average RMSE of the slant ionospheric delay is reduced by approximately 15.5%. Moreover, the multipath correction can contribute greatly to shortening the convergence time of the satellite clock estimation of the BDS GEO satellites.
