[0002] In mining production, building an efficient and reliable communication network is the basis for equipment monitoring, control and management, which is crucial to improving the safety and efficiency of mining operations. Traditional mining communication networks are limited by technical bottlenecks and often have significant problems such as single networking mode, low communication efficiency, and insufficient reliability. These problems not only affect the real-time nature of mining production, but also increase safety hazards, making it difficult to adapt to the urgent needs of modern mines to transform to intelligence and automation.

[0003] Specifically, traditional networks use wired or single wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi or early wireless private networks, which face many challenges in the complex and changeable underground environment. For example, wired network wiring is difficult, maintenance costs are high, and it is easy to be damaged when encountering geological disasters; and early wireless communication technologies may cause unstable communication, data transmission delays or losses due to signal attenuation, multipath effects and interference problems, thus affecting the accuracy of production scheduling and safety monitoring.

[0004] With the rapid development of 5G technology and its widespread application in the industrial field, 5G base stations for mining are gradually becoming the key driving force for the communication upgrade of the coal mining industry. 5G communication, with its ultra-high speed, large capacity, low latency and highly flexible network slicing capabilities, provides a new solution to solve the bottleneck of traditional networks.
