The Compass Navigation Satellite System (CNSS), or BeiDou-2, is China’s second-generation satellite navigation system capable of providing continuous, real-time passive 3D geo-spatial positioning and speed measurement. The system will initially used to provide high-accuracy positioning services for users in China and its neighbouring regions, covering an area of about 120 degrees longitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The long-term goal is to develop an independent global navigation satellite network similar to the GPS and GLONASS. [1]
COMPASS Arquitecture
The COMPASS User Segment consists of COMPASS/Beidou user terminals, which receive Compass navigation signals, determine pseudoranges (and other observables) and solve the navigation equations in order to obtain their coordinates.
There is also an international cooperation in terms of Compatibility and Interoperability between BeiDou and other GNSSs, that will lead to interoperable terminals compatible with other GNSSs.[2]
