Comprehensive Theory of RDSS and Engineering Design

This chapter introduces the general comprehensive radio determination satellite service (CRDSS) service, including navigation positioning, position reporting, and short text communication. It describes the operational control of the CRDSS global position reporting system and the users' application service. The CRDSS global position reporting system design aims to accomplish index analysis and distribution of the space, ground, and user segments, as well as function design and application service mode. The CRDSS Navigation Positioning Satellite includes a satellite with an RNSS payload and one with radio navigation satellite system (RNSS) and RDSS payload. The CRDSS ground system includes the system's operational control as well as the user's application service and terminal. The CRDSS satellite possesses an uplink transparent transponder or a retexture transponder to measurement control center (MCC). The CRDSS position reporting system can be deemed a future important infrastructure of the near‐earth satellite system.
