doi:10.11947/j.AGCS.2017.20170424

Abstract

Abstract: GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) reference station network is not only an important infrastructure to provide national, regional and global high-precision time and space datum, but also is an important support for navigation and location services, precise satellite orbit determination, geological disaster monitoring and other scientific and technological applications. At present, with the increase of reference station network of continuously operating reference system (CORS) and the rapid establishment of BeiDou, the development of the networks is facing many opportunities and challenges. Firstly, this paper gives the definition and classification of the GNSS reference station network, and describes its function and significance. And then the history and present situation of development of the network are analyzed. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of the network based on its establishment, data processing theory and method, application.

Key words: GNSS, Continuous operation reference stations, GNSS data processing, BeiDou satellite navigation system
