Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mine emergency communication system, which relates to the fields of network communication technology, laser communication technology, wireless communication technology, etc. Background Art

[0002] Existing underground communication systems primarily include wired dispatch communication systems, mobile communication systems, broadcast communication systems, through-the-ground communication systems, and disaster relief communication systems. These systems all utilize communication cables, powered by local power supply equipment. Existing underground communication and power cables are typically installed along tunnel walls. These cables are easily damaged by accidents such as coal and gas outbursts, gas explosions, rock bursts, roof falls, floods, and fires. Consequently, these communication systems are susceptible to disruptions and cannot function properly. Through-the-ground communication systems, based on low-frequency through-the-ground communication technology, offer minimal impact and strong disaster resilience, but they require large transmitting antennas. Through-the-ground communication typically utilizes a one-way broadcast communication method, meaning underground personnel can only receive information from above, not send it. Transmitters are only available in a limited number of underground chambers. After an accident, those above ground remain unable to learn about the situation of those not in these chambers. Therefore, existing through-the-ground communication systems cannot meet the emergency communication needs of mines. Disaster relief communication systems are carried by rescue team members, making communication impossible in locations beyond the reach of rescuers. Existing underground disaster relief communication systems often utilize wireless mesh communication systems, which enable dynamic self-organizing networks and possess excellent autonomous management and recovery capabilities. However, in practice, these systems suffer from limitations in the number of communication hops and bandwidth loss in multi-stage relays, resulting in low transmission bandwidth, high transmission latency, and poor overall system stability. To address these issues, a new emergency wireless communication system is needed to enhance the system's resilience to disasters and provide reliable communication services to underground rescuers after a mine disaster.
