"Preliminary studies of an energy efficient BLE wireless network for un" by Vihanga Peiris, Kai Zhao et al.
Positioning is a safety measure and a disaster management method used in the mining industry. Therefore, a positioning system is vital to ensure safety and reduce the risks to life of the workers at mine sites. The major challenge with existing positioning systems located in underground mines is the sending the collected positioning data to the positioning server through the energy-constrained, stationary wireless network nodes. This research is the first to identify the power challenge in sending positioning data in underground mines. By exploiting the mining environment, the authors of this ...
