| Abstract: | BeiDou navigation satellite system(the BeiDou system) is the only PNT(Positioning, Navigation and Tim-ing) resource in China that has coverage of the globe and near-Earth space and provides continuous high-precision,low-cost positioning, navigation and timing solutions for users in a unified spatio-temporal benchmark. As an importantspatio-temporal benchmark transmission system, the BeiDou system is the most important resource for the nationalPNT system to provide a PNT capability under a unified spatial-temporal benchmark. This paper proposes the con-cept, composition and development model of the space-based PNT system design based on the BeiDou system withall its space characteristics, as well as the advantages of the system. It opens up a new direction for the construction ofChina's PNT system and expands a new horizon in the research of a PNT system in China. |
