1 Statement
      BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Signal-In-Space Interface Control
Document (hereafter referred to as ICD) is issued by the China Satellite
Navigation Office, which reserves the right for final explanation.
2 Scope
      This ICD defines the specification related to open service signal B1I and
B2I between the space segment and the user segment of the BeiDou Navigation
Satellite System. B2I will be gradually replaced by a better signal with the
construction of global system.

4 Signal Specifications
4.1    Signal Structure
      The signals on B1 and B2 are the sum of channel I and Q which are in
phase quadrature of each other. The ranging code and NAV message are
modulated on carrier. The signal is composed of the carrier frequency, ranging
code and NAV message.
      The signals on B1 and B2 are expressed as follows:

      Equipment group delay is defined as the delay between the antenna phase
center of a satellite and the output of the satellite onboard frequency source. The
reference equipment group delay is included in the clock correction parameter
a0 in NAV message with uncertainty less than 0.5ns(1σ).The equipment group
delay differential of radiated signals on B1 and B2 with respect to that of
reference is given in TGD1 and TGD2 respectively in NAV message with
uncertainty less than 1ns(1σ).

     The bits 19~26 and bits 31~42, altogether 20 bits of the each
subframe are for seconds of week (SOW) which is defined as the number
of seconds that have occurred since the last Sunday, 00:00:00 of BDT.
The SOW count occurs at the leading edge of preamble first bit of the
subframe.
     There are altogether 13 bits for week number (WN) which is the
integral week count of BDT with the range of 0 through 8191. Week
number count started from zero at 00:00:00 on Jan. 1, 2006 of BDT.

* In the equations, ―t‖ is the time of signal transmission in BDT. ―tk‖ is the total
time difference between t and ephemeris reference time t oe after taking account of
beginning or end of a week crossovers. That is, subtract 604800 seconds from t k if tk
is greater than 302400, add 604800 seconds to tk if tk is less than -302400 seconds.

     The satellite health information (Heai) occupies 9 bits. The 9th bit
indicates the satellite clock health flag, while the 8th bit indicates the B1I
signal health status. The 7th bit indicates the B2I signal health status,and
the 2th bit indicates the information health status. The definitions are in
Table 5-15.

     The definition of basic NAV information is the same as that in format D1,
except the page number (Pnum), seconds of week (SOW), which are different
from those in format D1. Thus only the meanings of Pnum and SOW are given
as follows.
     (1)      Page number (Pnum)
     In format D2, the information of subframe 5 is broadcast via 120 pages and
the page number is identified by Pnum.
     (2)      Seconds of week (SOW)
     In format D2, the bits 19 through 26 and the bits 31 through 42, altogether
20 bits of every subframe are for the seconds of week (SOW). SOW count starts
from zero at 00:00:00 of BDT on every Sunday.
     In format D2, SOW refers to the leading edge of preamble first bit in
subframe 1 of each frame.
     The bits 43 through 46, altogether 4 bits of subframe 1 are for page number
of the basic NAV information (Pnum1). Pnum1 is broadcast in pages 1 through
10 of subframe 1.
     The bits 44 through 47, altogether 4 bits of the subframe 2 are for the page
number of the integrity and differential correction information (Pnum2). Pnum2
are broadcast in pages 1 through 6 of subframe 2.

     The satellite health flag for integrity and differential correction information
SatH2 is in 2 bits. The MSB indicates the check result of the satellite for the
received up-link regional user range accuracy (RURA), user differential range
error (UDRE) and equivalent clock correction (Δt). The LSB indicates the check
result of the satellite for received up-link ionospheric grid information.
     See Table 5-20 for detailed definitions.

the observed intersection point with dτi and GIVEI to design the model and
compute the delay correction for ionospherc pierce point (IPP) by interpolation.

follows:

     Fig 5-19 illustrates the user IPP and its surrounding grid points. IPP,
represented with geographic latitudes and longitudes as ( p ,  p ), is the
geographic location where the line-of-sight between the user and the satellite
intersects with the ionospheric layer. The positions of the four surrounding grid
points are represented with (  i ,  i , i=1~4) and the vertical ionospheric delays on
the grid points are represented with VTECi(i=1~4) respectively. And ωi(i=1~4)
shows the distance weight between IPP and the four grid points.
     As long as there are at least three grid points surrounding the user IPP are
available and effective, the IPP ionospheric delay can be calculated from the
vertical ionospheric delay of these effective grid points through the bilinear
interpolation algorithm.
