【 摘 要 】

Abstract Decimeter-level service is provided by the BeiDou satellite navigation system wide area differential service (BDS WADS) for users who collect carrier phase measurements. However, the fluctuations in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite orbit errors reduce the spatial correlation of orbit errors. These fluctuations not only decrease the accuracy and stability of zone correction service provided by BDS WADS, but also shorten its effective range. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to weaken the influence of GEO satellite orbit error fluctuations and verified the method using data from eight sparsely distributed zones. The results show that orbit errors can be stabilized using orbit fluctuation corrections, and the positioning precision and stability of the BDS WADS can be improved simultaneously. Under normal circumstances, the horizontal and vertical positioning accuracy of users within 1000 km from the center of the zone can reach 0.19 m and 0.34 m. Furthermore, the effective range is increased. The positioning performance within 1800 km could reach 0.24 m and 0.38 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively.
