BDS-3 RDSS adopts new signals, which is compatible with BDS-2 RDSS signals in order to guarantee the services of old users. Moreover, the new signals also separate civil signals and military signals which are modulated on different carriers to improve their isolation and RDSS service performance. Timing is an important part of RDSS service, which has been widely used in the field of the power, transportation, marine and others. Therefore, the timing accuracy, availability and continuity is an important guarantee for RDSS service. This paper summarizes the principle of one-way and two-way timing, and provides the evaluation method of RDSS timing accuracy, availability and continuity. Based on BDS-3 RDSS signal measurements of system, the performance of one-way timing and two-way timing is analyzed and evaluated for the first time. The results show that: (1) the accuracy of one-way timing and two-way timing is better than 30 ns and 8 ns respectively, which are better than the official claimed accuracy; (2) the RMS of one-way timing accuracy is 5.45 ns, which is 20% smaller than BDS-2, and the availability and continuity are 100%; (3) the RMS of two-way timing accuracy is 3.59 ns, which is 34% smaller than one-way timing, and both of the availability and continuity are 100%; (4) the orbit maneuver of GEO satellite make the one-way timing has 7.68 h recovery, but has no affection on the two-way timing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14020352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]],"date-time":"2022-01-14T03:14:03Z","timestamp":1642130043000},"page":"352","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Preliminary Analysis and Evaluation of BDS-3 RDSS Timing Performance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Dongxia","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Astronomy, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Zhijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Tianqiao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Satellite Navigation Center, Beijing 100094, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Progress, Contribution and Challenges of Compass\/Beidou Satellite Navigation System","volume":"39","author":"Yang","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Geod.
