Abstract

Orbit determination accuracy of GNSS satellites depends on the satellites dynamics models and GNSS orbit determination geometry. Because of the weak geometry, higher orbit height of GEO and IGSO and relatively low accuracy of the dynamics models, the geometry information may play an important role in improving the GNSS orbit. The method for analysis the configuration and the influence of BDS GEO/IGSO/MEO ground monitoring stations distribution are discussed. Firstly, based on the reduced-dynamic orbit determination theory, the precision improvement of GNSS orbit from multi-epoch geometry observations is revealed. Secondly, the geometric condition of an ideal configuration for BDS satellites orbit determination is studied and the influence factors (quantity, range, density) are obtained. Thirdly, the method based on the discrete probability distribution is proposed to analyse the configuration of the ground monitoring stations. Finally, the indicators of discrete probability density and configuration of BDS orbit determination are optimized by adding five Chinese regional stations. It is showed that the improvement of GEO and IGSO satellites is more significant relative to MEO satellites. The accuracy of GEO/IGSO/MEO satellites is improved by 10%, 16%, 4% respectively.
