The difference between equipment delays of inter-satellite ranging signal and navigation signal would consequentially impact on the result of orbit determination and clock solution solved with inter-satellite ranging data and observations from ground-based monitoring stations.In order to keep consistent with GNSS user algorithms for positioning and timing,it's pointed out that the satellite clock bias solved with inter-satellite ranging observations should also include the group delay(GD)of navigation payload onboard GNSS satellites,and the observation equations are derived for combined orbit determination.The method for dealing with the problem of equipment delay is discussed.It is pointed that equipment delays should be estimated via data processing.Two approaches for data processing are proposed:one is to estimate the delay correction parameters for each satellite;another is to estimate the delay correction parameters for each(directional-)link.Software for simulation and data processing has been developed and the feasibility of the proposed method and data processing strategy are validated by simulation analysis.The results indicate that,by applying anyone of the two proposed approaches,the accuracy of orbit and clock result could be significantly improved and the effect is nearly the same as if the equipment delays have been exactly corrected.
