Abstract

Communication systems relying on wireless technology can significantly improve the safety and production in underground mines; however, their unreliable operation in such high-stress environments is a significant obstacle to achieving this. Underground mine tunnels offers several distinctive features that are quite different from regular rail/road tunnels. While several studies have been performed on electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in tunnel environments, there is limited understanding of the inter-working of tunnel dimension with long range tilt variations (a typically feature of coal mines) on the propagation characteristics of wireless radio waves. In this paper, we present and describe a new hybrid multimode model for wireless communication in underground coal mines; and analyze it with respect to important parameters such as operating frequency, mine tunnel size, and transmitter-receiver position. The characterization results suggest that the mine tunnel size and transmitter-receiver position affects the signal behavior significantly.

煤矿井下无线通信信道建模

基于无线技术的通信系统可以显著提高地下矿山的安全生产水平;然而，它们在如此高压力环境下的不可靠运行是实现这一目标的重大障碍。地下矿井隧道具有几个与普通铁路/公路隧道截然不同的特点。虽然已经对隧道环境中的电磁波传播进行了一些研究，但对隧道尺寸与长距离倾斜变化(煤矿的典型特征)对无线电波传播特性的相互作用的了解有限。本文提出并描述了一种新的煤矿井下无线通信混合多模模型;并结合工作频率、巷道尺寸、收发位置等重要参数对其进行分析。表征结果表明，矿井巷道尺寸和收发位置对信号特性有显著影响。
