Because satellites in the Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) are in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO), maneuvers occur more frequently. Also, the precise start moment of the BDS satellites\u2019 orbit maneuvering cannot be obtained by common users. This paper presented an improved real-time detecting method for BDS satellites\u2019 orbit maneuvering and anomalies with higher timeliness and higher accuracy. The main contributions to this improvement are as follows: (1) instead of the previous two-steps method, a new one-step method with higher accuracy is proposed to determine the start moment and the pseudo random noise code (PRN) of the satellite orbit maneuvering in that time; (2) BDS Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) orbital maneuvers are firstly detected according to the proposed selection strategy for the stations; and (3) the classified non-maneuvering anomalies are detected by a new median robust method using the weak anomaly detection factor and the strong anomaly detection factor. The data from the Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) in 2017 was used for experimental analysis. The experimental results and analysis showed that the start moment of orbital maneuvers and the period of non-maneuver anomalies can be determined more accurately in real-time. When orbital maneuvers and anomalies occur, the proposed method improved the data utilization for 91 and 95 min in 2017.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18030726","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,28]],"date-time":"2018-02-28T12:54:12Z","timestamp":1519822452000},"page":"726","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["An Optimized Method to Detect BDS Satellites\u2019 Orbit Maneuvering and Anomalies in Real-Time"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Guanwen","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"given":"Le","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"given":"Xingyuan","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaolei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geology Engineering and Geomantic, Chang\u2019an University, 126 Yanta Road, Xi\u2019an 710054, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2813","DOI":"10.1007\/s11434-011-4627-4","article-title":"Contribution of the compass satellite navigation system to global PNT users","volume":"56","author":"Yang","year":"2011","journal-title":"Chin.
