To satisfy the demands of civil aviation organizations and other users of satellite navigation systems for high-precision and high-integrity service performance, many countries and regions have established satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) referring to the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) service standards and agreements. The BeiDou SBAS (BDSBAS) provides both single-frequency service, which augments Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 C/A signal, and dual-frequency multi-constellation (DFMC) service, which augments BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) B1C and B2a dual frequency signals presently, meeting the requirements of the RTCA DO-229D protocol and the SBAS L5 DFMC protocol requirements, respectively. As one of the main error sources, the pseudorange bias errors of BDSBAS monitoring receivers were estimated and their effect on the performance of the BDSBAS service was analyzed. Based on the user algorithms of SBAS differential corrections and integrity information, the service accuracy, integrity, and availability of the BDSBAS were evaluated using real observation data. The results show that the maximum of monitoring receiver pseudorange bias errors between L1P and L1P/L2P can reach 1.57 m, which become the most important errors affecting the performance of the BDSBAS service. In addition, the results show that the pseudorange bias of GPS BlockIII is the smallest, while that of GPS BlockIIR is the largest. Compared with the positioning accuracy of the open service of the core constellation, the positioning accuracy of the BDSBAS service can be improved by approximately 47% and 36% for the RTCA service and DFMC service, respectively. For RTCA services, the protection limit (PL) calculated with the integrity information can 100% envelop the positioning error (PE) and no integrity risk event is detected. The service availability of BDSBAS for APV-I approach is approximately 98.8%, which is mainly affected by the availability of ionospheric grid corrections in the service marginal area. For DFMC service, the integrity risk is not detected either. The service availability for CAT-I approach is 100%. Improving the availability of ionospheric grid corrections is one of the important factors to improve service performance of BDSBAS RTCA service.

Due to satellite signal deformations, there are different constant biases in the same satellite signal that are measured by different technical types of receivers and different satellite signals that are measured by the same type of receiver, which are named pseudorange biases. These biases cannot be transmitted to users with existing navigation parameters, such as satellite time group delay (TGD) and receiver differential code biases (DCB). With the improvement of the signal-in-space accuracy of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), the pseudorange bias has become one of the primary error sources affecting the accuracy of GNSS services. To ensure the accuracy for users under the wide area differential services (WADS), we extracted the pseudorange biases of Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) B1I, B3I and B1I/B3I signals and analyzed the impact of those biases on users under the WADS. Finally, we tried to eliminate this influence. The results show that the pseudorange biases of the B3I signal are smaller than those of the B1I signal at the centimeter level, but the pseudorange biases of the B1I/B3I signal can reach the meter level. Due to the large pseudorange bias of the B1I/B3I signal, the average user equivalent ranging error (UERE) under the WADS is 1.19 m, which is no better than the average UERE under open services (OS). Influenced by the pseudorange biases, the average positioning accuracies of the B1I/B3I signal are 4.17 m and 4.24 m under the WADS and the OS. When the pseudorange biases are deducted, these accuracies are 3.03 m and 3.50 m, respectively.
