Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground pipeline data transmission technology, specifically to an underground pipeline multimodal data anti-interference directional transmission system. Background Technology
[0002] Underground pipelines often encounter factors such as electromagnetic interference, humidity, temperature variations, and mechanical vibration, all of which can affect the stability of data transmission. Therefore, the design of the transmission system needs to be optimized to address these interference sources. Multimodal data typically refers to data from different sensors or sources, such as sound, images, and temperature. In the underground pipeline environment, this may include structural health monitoring data, environmental parameters, and leak detection data. Regarding interference resistance, the underground environment may contain electromagnetic interference, physical obstacles, or other noise, requiring the design of effective anti-interference measures. Directional transmission may involve technologies such as signal beamforming and directional antennas to ensure that data is accurately transmitted to the designated node and to reduce signal attenuation and interference.
[0003] According to the invention patent application No. 202310625095.5, a high-flow-rate data transmission system for underground culvert detection is proposed. This system seems to solve the problems of the lack of a supporting data transmission system for existing underground culvert systems, the inability to transmit detected data in a timely manner, and the low transmission efficiency of existing underground culvert detection data transmission systems. However, when this high-flow-rate data transmission system is put into use, the single-sensor modal data is easily affected by interference sources such as sudden changes in the electromagnetic field inside the pipeline and mechanical vibration harmonics, thus affecting the transmission effect of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an anti-interference internal directional transmission system for multi-modal data of underground pipelines to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an anti-interference directional transmission system for multimodal data in underground pipelines. This system has advantages such as improving the overall transmission effect of the transmission system and solves the problem in the prior art where single-sensor modal data is easily affected by interference sources such as sudden changes in the electromagnetic field inside the pipeline and mechanical vibration harmonics, thereby affecting the transmission effect of the transmission system.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-interference directional transmission system for multimodal data of underground pipelines, comprising the following transmission system: Multimodal data fusion and transmission module: heterogeneous data integration and transmission optimization; Adaptive anti-interference module: dynamically responds to complex interference environments; Intelligent directional transmission system: enhances signal penetration and transmission distance; The multimodal data fusion transmission module includes: (1) constructing a heterogeneous sensor data collaborative matrix to integrate three types of modal data: acoustic vibration sensor, distributed optical fiber strain sensing unit, and electromagnetic flaw detector; (2) using hierarchical quantization coding technology to package each modal data into a TDMA time slot frame with priority identifier; The adaptive anti-interference module includes a three-level anti-interference mechanism working collaboratively. The intelligent directional transmission system includes a directional transmission subsystem.
[0006] Furthermore, the layered quantization coding technique includes: Physical layer: Implements analog-to-digital conversion and normalization. Protocol layer: Design a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm to dynamically adjust the proportion of each mode according to the channel state (weighting coefficient α = 0.3-0.7). Application layer: Deploy a multimodal data fusion engine to achieve joint determination of abnormal states through DS evidence theory.
[0007] Furthermore, the three-level anti-interference mechanism collaborative operation module includes: Front-end protection: Deploy a tunable band-stop filter at the transceiver input to automatically identify and suppress interference in specific frequency bands; Transmission relay: Employs RS-LDPC concatenated coding, with an error correction capability of 10⁻ 9 Bit error rate; Backend compensation: An interference feature library is built based on the LMS adaptive algorithm, and the noise cancellation parameters are updated in real time.
[0008] Furthermore, the directional transmission subsystem includes: Dual-polarized MIMO antenna array; 3D beamforming controller; Beampath planning algorithm based on pipeline topology.
[0009] Furthermore, the dual-polarized MIMO antenna array includes a dual-polarized antenna and a MIMO antenna array. The dual-polarized antenna is a single antenna element that can simultaneously support two orthogonal polarization modes (such as horizontal + vertical, or +45° / -45° slant polarization) to form two independent channels. The MIMO antenna array transmits data streams in parallel through multiple transmit antennas (Tx) and receive antennas (Rx), utilizing spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing to improve channel capacity and reliability.
[0010] Furthermore, the beam path planning algorithm for the pipeline topology includes a signal attenuation model within the pipeline and an effective signal-to-noise ratio calculation; The path loss within the pipe in the signal attenuation model of the pipe. It is the sum of free space loss, material penetration loss, and reflection loss: Free space loss Distance (km) Frequency (MHz); Pipe wall material loss (metal pipe) ≈30dB / m, concrete ≈10dB / m); : Number of reflections, L ≈ 2dB / reflection (reflection loss of metal surface); Effective signal-to-noise ratio calculation: , Transmit power (dBm) Thermal noise (kTB) Co-channel interference power (dBm).
[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-interference directional transmission system for multimodal data in underground pipelines, which has the following advantages: 1. This underground pipeline multimodal data anti-interference directional transmission system integrates data from three heterogeneous sensors—acoustic vibration, fiber optic strain, and electromagnetic flaw detection—to construct a multimodal collaborative transmission matrix. Combined with layered quantization coding technology (TDMA time slot frame dynamic allocation), it solves the problems of traditional single-modal data being susceptible to interference and having limited coverage dimensions. Based on a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm (DBA 2.0), the system can dynamically adjust the weights of each modal data (α=0.3-0.7) according to channel quality, avoiding channel contention during concurrent multimodal transmission. The layered protocol design (physical layer, protocol layer, application layer) supports flexible access to various sensor types and will be compatible with new modal data such as infrared thermal imaging and gas composition detection in the future, providing a standardized technical framework for multi-parameter fusion monitoring of smart pipeline networks.
[0012] 2. This underground pipeline multi-modal data anti-interference directional transmission system adopts a three-level anti-interference architecture of "front-end protection - transmission relay - back-end compensation". It comprehensively utilizes tunable band-stop filters (to suppress specific interferences such as 50Hz power frequency harmonics) and RS-LDPC cascaded coding (error correction capability up to 10⁻). 9The system employs a bit error rate (BER) and an LMS adaptive noise cancellation algorithm (convergence speed <50ms). By updating the interference feature library and noise cancellation parameters in real time, the system can dynamically adapt to the complex and ever-changing electromagnetic field environment within the pipeline (such as lightning induction, harmonics from frequency converters, etc.), avoiding the performance degradation problem of traditional fixed threshold anti-interference schemes. A real-world test case in a natural gas pipeline shows that the system's BER fluctuation range is <±5% during continuous 24-hour operation, demonstrating significantly better stability than existing technologies. The automated operation of the anti-interference module reduces the frequency of manual intervention, while the redundant design of the RS-LDPC encoding (15% redundancy) can tolerate single-node failures, reducing the overall system maintenance cost by approximately 40%.
[0013] 3. This underground pipeline multimodal data anti-interference directional transmission system, based on a dual-polarized MIMO antenna array (gain 18dBi) and a three-dimensional beamforming controller (beamwidth ≤5°), achieves spatial focusing of signal energy, with an energy utilization efficiency of 82% (5.2 times higher than omnidirectional transmission). In an 8.7km long pipeline test, directional transmission reduced path loss by 40%, effectively extending node endurance. Through sidelobe level suppression technology (sidelobe < -25dB), the system significantly reduces the risk of signal being illegally intercepted or eavesdropped, meeting the data transmission requirements of high-security scenarios such as oil and gas pipelines and military tunnels. The beam path planning algorithm based on pipeline topology can dynamically calculate the optimal transmission elevation angle (azimuth ±60°, elevation -30°~+45°), automatically avoiding physical obstacles such as pipeline bends and flange interfaces.
