In nutshell,RF communication would be the most suitable and reliable communication system for safety application in the coal mines. It would also help to increase production and productivity in mines. COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES The communication systems required for an underground mine can be divided into following four categories
Underground mines are typically extensive labyrinths that employ many people working over an area of many square miles; extensive analysis of mine-communications systems has identified specific problem areas, in particular the excessive times required to locate key personnel underground, the inadequacy of existing phone systems in terms of capacity …
The underground local acquisition and remote communication of data in real-time are the major requirements for the mining industry to keep the safety and secure state of the workers, machinery, and facilities in mining underground spaces.
Simulation results show that the RWP-based channel model meets the practical requirements better than other models in the reference papers, and is integrated into a single-channel model that facilitates the derivation of complex expressions. Abstract. A random walk prediction (RWP)-based channel model is founded in the underground …

In underground mine communications, some of wired communication systems depend on a common communication wire to which each individual phone (or terminal, or node) is attached. This sort of wired communication system is called 'party line' system. Main characteristic of this system is that the transmission of any node can be received by all ...
Traditionally, underground mining operations have relied on the 'Leaky Feeder' radiating cable network for communication. This antiquated system, primarily facilitating basic two-way radio ...
The structure of road/subway tunnels is similar to that of underground mine tunnels and can be captured through the tunnel channel model. In this section, we develop an analytical channel model, the multimode model, which lays out the foundation for reliable and efficient communication networks in underground mines and road tunnels [6], [7 ...
As a typical underground scenario, underground mine has many unique channel characteristics.
