Evaluation and Anomaly Detection Methods for Broadcast Ephemeris Time Series in the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System by Jiawei Cai, Jianwen Li, Shengda Xie, Hao Jin

“…Broadcast ephemeris data are essential for the precision and reliability of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) but are highly susceptible to anomalies caused by various interference factors, such as ionospheric and tropospheric effects, solar radiation pressure, and satellite clock biases. Traditional threshold-based methods and manual review processes are often insufficient for detecting these complex anomalies, especially considering the distinct characteristics of different satellite types. …”
