BDS-3 Broadcast Ephemeris Orbit Correction Model Based on Improved PSO Combined with BP Neural Network

Abstract

During the operation of navigation satellites, errors in the broadcast ephemeris orbits are caused by the influence of ingress factors and other factors. To address this phenomenon, this paper examines the use of the computational intelligence (CI) methods to implement track correction and to develop an optimized BP neural network model based on an improved particle swarm algorithm. The model improves the inertia weights and learning factor parameters of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to improve the global optimization capability and accelerate the convergence speed. The improved PSO (IPSO) algorithm is used to perform a global optimization search for the hyperparameters of the BP neural network, and then the neural network model is trained by broadcast ephemeris Keplerian root number and regression parameters. The model is validated using the broadcast ephemeris data of the BDS-3 MEO and IGSO satellites, and the mean square error correction rate of multiple satellites with different correction models shows that the error correction rate of the IPSO-BPNN model can reach 70.2–84% and the error correction rate can be improved by 14.2–56.8% compared with the PSO-BPNN model. The proposed algorithm provides an important reference for BDS-3 and other global navigation satellite systems for improving the accuracy of satellite orbit determination.
