About

Dr. Chengpan Tang is a leading figure in satellite navigation, whose work is central to the evolution of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). His primary research focuses on high-precision positioning services, including real-time precise point positioning (PPP) and satellite-based augmentation systems. Dr. Tang’s major contribution is his comprehensive review of BDS’s high-precision services, a highly cited work (41 citations) that systematically documents the system’s current state, achievements, and future directions. This paper has become a key reference for researchers and engineers working on autonomous driving, robotic navigation, and other applications demanding centimeter-level accuracy. Notably, his analysis covers the operational PPP-B2b service, a groundbreaking capability that delivers real-time precise corrections directly via BDS satellites, eliminating the need for internet-based data links. By charting the roadmap for BDS’s evolution, Dr. Tang has helped solidify China’s position in the global GNSS landscape, providing a critical foundation for next-generation navigation technologies.
