Basic information of the simulated LLR and DLLR data in cases 1–4.

Data type		Reflector/reflector baseline	Station	Time span	Data amount
simulated LLR (cases 1–4)		A11, A14, A15, L1, and L2	LURE, WLRS, OCA, MLRS2, APOLLO MLRO	01.04.2021-31.03.2026	8480
simulated DLLR	case 1	random combination of A11, A14, A15, L1, and L2
	case 2	A15-A14; A15-L1; A15-A11; A15-L2; A11-L2
	case 3	L1-A11; L1-L2; A14-L2; L1-A14; A14-A11
	case 4	L1-A11; A14-L2

Notes. The relevant stations, data time span and data amount are kept the same in all the LLR and DLLR simulations of cases 1–4, i.e., 8480 simulated LLR data points and 8480 simulated DLLR data points in cases 1–4.
