2020 saw the official completion of the BDS-3 and the start of the PPP-B2b signal-based real-time precise point positioning (PPP) service to users in China and the neighboring areas. In this work, the quality of PPP-B2b products is first evaluated and compared with real-time products from the CNES and the differential code bias (DCB) from the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). Then, a detailed performance evaluation of the PPP time transfer based on the PPP-B2b service (B2b-RTPPP) is conducted. Three solutions, namely, GPS-only (G), BDS-3-only (C), and GPS + BDS-3 (GC) B2b-RTPPP solutions, are compared and assessed. The results suggest that for the PPP-B2b products, BDS-3 satellites have better orbit and clock offset quality than GPS satellites, while the opposite is true for CNES products. The quality of the PPP-B2b orbit and clock offset is poorer than those of the CNES. The PPP-B2b DCB shows excellent agreement with the CAS DCB. The accuracy of the B2b-RTPPP solutions is sub-nanosecond level. The accuracy of B2b-RTPPP time transfer with DCB correction is approximately improved by 64% compared with that without DCB correction. The GC B2b-RTPPP solution has the greatest frequency stability, while G B2b-RTPPP solution has the poorest. Considering that the receiver may be blocked, the B2b-RTPPP time transfer performance is also evaluated at different cut-off elevation angles. As the angle increases, the B2b-RTPPP time transfer performance decreases. Additionally, the short-term frequency stability remains constant at different cut-off elevation angles, but deteriorates in the long term, especially when the angle is 40°:.
