Abstract

For the importance of monitoring system in mine, this paper describes the application of wireless sensor networks for mine safety monitoring. Schemes for clustering and mobile node based on the characteristics of mine wireless sensor networks are proposed in roadway. The simulation results show that the clustering and mobile node schemes achieved in this paper can meet the requirements of mine, and reduce energy consumption of both mobile nodes and other nodes. So these schemes successfully improve the practical ability and stability of the wireless senor networks, which are more suitable for coal mine monitoring system.
