This study analyzes the impact of mining equipment on wireless communication channels in underground workings using experimental and modeling data. Experimental and numerical methods revealed that tunnel geometry (turns, inclinations) exerts a greater effect on signal propagation than transmission distance, while metallic structures create shielding zones (attenuation up to 30 dB) and multipath reflections. The results demonstrate the need for adaptive solutions, including directional antennas and repeaters in areas with turns, to minimize signal loss. Dynamic changes in the electromagnetic environment caused by machinery movement must be considered in system design. The obtained data enable the development of resilient wireless networks for reliable transmission of telemetry and video data in complex underground mining conditions, thereby enhancing safety and operational efficiency.

摘要

This study analyzes the impact of mining equipment on wireless communication channels in underground workings using experimental and modeling data. Experimental and numerical methods revealed that tunnel geometry (turns, inclinations) exerts a greater effect on signal propagation than transmission distance, while metallic structures create shielding zones (attenuation up to 30 dB) and multipath reflections. The results demonstrate the need for adaptive solutions, including directional antennas and repeaters in areas with turns, to minimize signal loss. Dynamic changes in the electromagnetic environment caused by machinery movement must be considered in system design. The obtained data enable the development of resilient wireless networks for reliable transmission of telemetry and video data in complex underground mining conditions, thereby enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
