      Refinement method for the BeiDou-3 broadcast ionospheric model

      • 摘要: 电离层活跃环境条件下,各GNSS广播电离层模型的修正精度均会受到不同程度影响。针对这一共性问题,本文围绕北斗三号广播电离层模型——北斗全球电离层延迟修正模型(BeiDou Global Ionospheric Delay Correction Model, BDGIM)系统端参数解算与模型表达形式开展了多维度精化研究。结果表明:采用半年次更新电离层背景场后,全球平均均方根误差(root mean square error, RMSE)由11.78 TECU降至7.84 TECU,提升约33%;引入全球境外站观测数据后,模型全球平均RMSE由9.92 TECU降至8.69 TECU,低纬区域改善最为明显;引入天目低轨卫星掩星观测后,全球平均RMSE由15.16 TECU降至10.45 TECU;在中国区域构建9参数区域调整球谐函数模型,较原BDGIM精度提升约26.8%;此外,针对部分高纬度区域出现的负值问题,建议施加最小值约束。研究表明,所提方法可在兼顾现有播发体制的条件下显著提升BDGIM的精度、稳定性与区域适用性。

         

        Abstract: Under active ionospheric conditions, the correction performance of existing GNSS broadcast ionospheric models generally suffers from degradation to varying degrees. To address this common challenge, this study focuses on the system-level parameter estimation and mathematical representation of the BeiDou Global Ionospheric Delay Correction Model (BDGIM), the broadcast ionospheric model adopted by BeiDou-3, and proposes a multi-dimensional refinement strategy to improve its accuracy and robustness. The results indicate that, by updating the ionospheric background field on a semiannual basis, the mean root mean square error (RMSE) is reduced from 11.78 TECU to 7.84 TECU, representing an improvement of approximately 33%. After incorporating globally distributed overseas stations, the RMSE is further reduced from 9.92 TECU to 8.69 TECU, with the most pronounced improvement observed in low-latitude regions. By further introducing Tianmu low Earth orbit (LEO) radio occultation observations, the global mean error decreases from 15.16 TECU to 10.45 TECU. Moreover, a 9-parameter regional modified spherical harmonic model is developed, achieving an accuracy improvement of approximately 26.8%. In addition, for the negative values occasionally occurring in some high-latitude regions, the application of a minimum-value constraint is recommended. These results demonstrate that the proposed methods can significantly improve the accuracy, stability, and regional applicability of BDGIM.
