The different bias should be properly dealt with in the process of satellite clock offset estimation when receivers of mixed types are used. In this work, using observations from 140 international global navigation satellite system (GNSS) service stations, the pseudorange bias was calculated, and the effect of inconsistent biases on satellite clock offset estimation from different receiver networks was investigated. The inconsistencies between the GPS satellites were ranging from ?6 ns to 4 ns. For GALILEO and BDS, the biases are significant, ranging from ?20 ns to 40 ns and ?60 ns to 40 ns, respectively. The biases of the individual satellites are receiver-related and statistically stable from day to day. The influence of pseudorange bias was strikingly noticeable, and can improve the accuracy of the estimated clock offset by several ps for GPS; and by more than 15 ps for GALILEO and BDS after considering bias inconsistencies. Furthermore, owing to the pseudorange bias correction, the convergence and positioning performance have improved significantly, with an improvement of more than 12 % for the static precise point position (PPP), and more than 10 % for the kinematic PPP.
