Mission-Critical Mobile Broadband Communications in Open Pit Mines
The need for continuous safety improvements
and increased operational efficiency is driving
the mining industry through a transition toward
automated operations. From a communications
perspective, this transition introduces a new set
of high-bandwidth business-critical and mission-critical
applications that need to be met
by the wireless network. This article introduces
fundamental concepts behind open-pit mining
and discusses why this ever-changing environment
and strict industrial reliability requirements
pose unique challenges to traditional broadband
network planning and optimization techniques.
On the other hand, unlike unpredictable disaster
scenarios, mining is a carefully planned activity.
Taking advantage of this predictability element,
we propose a framework that integrates mine
and radio network planning so that continuous
and automated adaptation of the radio network
becomes possible. The potential benefits of this
framework are evaluated by means of an illustrative
example
