Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering monitoring technology, specifically relating to the design of a radio frequency wireless self-organizing network transmission method for distributed rockburst monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of geotechnical engineering monitoring technology and radio frequency wireless communication technology, distributed rockburst monitoring systems based on wireless methods have gradually been applied. Existing distributed rockburst monitoring systems typically combine radio frequency wireless communication technology, distributed self-organizing network technology, and underground engineering Internet of Things architecture to achieve real-time acquisition and transmission of rockburst precursor signals during construction processes such as ventilation and slag removal, hazard removal and support, drilling and charging, thereby improving the safety monitoring capabilities during underground engineering construction.
[0003] However, deep tunnels and underground engineering projects are typically characterized by narrow spaces, enclosed structures, and complex environments. The surrounding rock structure significantly obstructs and attenuates wireless signal propagation. Furthermore, the dense concentration of equipment and numerous sources of electromagnetic interference at construction sites result in shortcomings in existing wireless transmission circuits regarding multi-point synchronous communication, transmission distance, anti-interference capabilities, and system reliability. In addition, existing monitoring nodes generally have high integration levels, with sensor terminals typically including digital processing and encoding circuits. This leads to complex node structures and high power consumption, hindering the long-term stable deployment of borehole-type or miniaturized rockburst monitoring probes.
[0004] While existing rockburst monitoring technologies have continuously evolved in terms of monitoring methods and data analysis, they still suffer from problems such as complex wireless transmission structures, high node power consumption, and insufficient adaptability to distributed deployment in complex underground environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rockburst monitoring radio frequency wireless self-organizing network transmission method that simplifies the structure, adapts to distributed monitoring point deployment, and enables reliable wireless transmission in complex underground environments.

This solves the defects of the existing technology in the strong electromagnetic interference environment of underground construction, such as weak anti-interference ability, easy interruption of communication link, and redundant power consumption. It not only ensures the continuity and reliability of multi-hop wireless transmission, but also further realizes the fine control of node power consumption, achieving a two-way optimization of high transmission reliability and low power consumption.
[0023] (4) This invention defines a standardized radio frequency data frame structure and a matching data integrity verification mechanism for rockburst monitoring. Through the segmented frame structure design of frame header, node identifier field, valid data field and check bit, combined with the error detection scheme of cyclic redundancy check or parity check, it solves the problems of data being easily interfered with, insufficient data differentiation of multiple measurement points and inability to guarantee transmission integrity in the complex electromagnetic environment of tunnels in the existing wireless transmission scheme. It significantly reduces the data transmission error rate in strong interference construction scenarios. At the same time, the whole transmission method can be directly adapted to various rockburst monitoring sensors and engineering scenarios such as deep tunnels and underground caverns, and has a strong engineering implementation capability and industry promotion value.
