Add support for Beidou-3 B2b signal #652

Closed Narugakuruga closed 1 year ago

Narugakuruga commented 1 year ago

Mediatek Demisey 9200 add BDS-3 B2b and Galileo E5b signal supports. B2b is broadcasted by all BDS-3 MEO/IGSO satellites (C19-C46) and PPP-B2b is broadcasted by BDS-3 GEO satellites (C59-C62). Would be cool to see the new signal in action!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing this. Agreed, it would be nice to see the b signals on real devices.

The good news is that GPSTest will already label Galileo E5b correctly: https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/android/gpstest/library/util/CarrierFreqUtils.java#L177

Looks like BDS-3 B2b still needs to be labeled correctly, so I'll work on that: https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/android/gpstest/library/util/CarrierFreqUtils.java#L135

Would be nice to test it out ☺️. I will check with a phone with D9200+ chipset someday

I'm very curious to find out these Beidou-3 GEO satellites use B1l frequency for navigation service, B1C and B2a frequency for SBAS service. Their B2b is for high accuracy PPP measurement.

While all these bands of other Beidou-3 sats is only for common navigation. IMG_20230818_153942

So every GEO satellites serve 3 functions. That's interesting.

But right now the SBAS service is in test stage. Not for public use I think....

My test shows B2b is on 1207.14 MHz band. (Constellation type 5 for BDS right? ) Which is the same old "B2" frequency that gpstest already labeled. It's weird it doesn't shows up as B2 yet. Screenshot_2023-10-05-23-41-10-681_com miui gallery-edit

According to BDS official website. B2b is expected to fully replace B2 as they use same 1207.14Mhz (maybe even un-interoperable too?)

Nice! What device is the screenshot from?

Narugakuruga commented 1 year ago

Redmi K60 Ultra in China, aka Xiaomi 13T Pro :) Maybe it's because android api couldn't report B2b signal? I guess. So inside the GNSS chip it's using b2b to calculate location and PPP correction, but can't be read by android api?

Narugakuruga commented 1 year ago

In GNSSLoger, BDS's 1207.14 MHz only shows up in MeasurementProviderMeasurement. But it would not display in Status SATELLITE_STATUS

Narugakuruga commented 1 year ago

Ahh I see. Gnss logger can shows B2b normally.

Apparently mediatek 9200 chip only received B2b exclusively from 3 satellite. So it's easy to miss it.

Last time when I doing the measurement it was indoor, so I didn't receive the signal.

So maybe Gpstest can show that too. We just have to rename B2 to B2b
