摘要: A method and apparatus for reliable wireless voice, data location communication deployment in underground, industrial other hazardous environments using a mesh network. The network includes protocol dispatch operation, emergency remote supervision, status, asset control, machine state of health operational management. architecture is based on localized clusters autonomous nodes capable ad hoc interconnection with nearby connection to gateway nodes. resulting an topology comprised fixed approximately 50% coverage overlap between This provides mobile carried by personnel sensor that are or supports tracking/situation awareness. Each cluster transfers digital voice either directly through multi-hop transactions.
