Abstract The full operational capability of the Chinese BeiDou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) has injected additional energy into the GNSS field. Along with the visibility of more BDS satellites, as well as the precise products generated by analysis centers, ambguity float and fixed Precise Point Positioning (PPP) performance with the complete BDS constellation are evaluated in this study. Inter-system biases (ISBs) between BDS-2 and BDS-3 are first evaluated, and Fractional Cycle Bias (FCB) with and without consideration of ISBs are assessed. Results show that when considering ISBs, the standard deviations of ambiguity residuals are smaller, thus the ISB parameter should be taken into consideration in BDS PPP. BDS-3 FCBs are more stable than those of BDS-2, at the same time, the ambiguity residuals are smaller for BDS-3 satellites. In terms of PPP performance, BDS-3 outperforms BDS-2 in positioning accuracy, convergence time and time to first fix. For the test data, the convergence time of BDS-2 static solution is 48.8 min, while for BDS-2 + 3 it is 19.7 min, representing an improvement of 59.6% when BDS-3 satellites are included. The positioning accuracy of static BDS-2, BDS-3 and BDS-2 + 3 PPP can reach the same millimeter-level after a long time of convergence, while kinematic solution with BDS-2 + 3 has the highest accuracy compared to BDS-2 and BDS-3, which could reach 1.7, 1.3 and 4.3 cm in East, North and Up components, respectively, in fixed solution. The performance of BDS PPP with the whole constellation is comparable with that of GPS and Galileo, and the PPP performance is promising with receiver updates for MGEX stations in the near future.
