Abstract:

The application and development of 5G in the field of cement mining has drawn attention.Cement factories, usually built around limestone mines, in which 5G network shows great value to be used for safe inspection by drones, UAV 3D modeling of mines, unmanned driving and remote control of mining vehicles, of excavators and other mobile services.Firstly, the main business scenarios and network requirements of 5G in cement industry mines was analyzed.Secondly, via the analysis of practical cases and test data of 5G cement mine network deployment, the difficulty of 5G network coverage in mines lies in the poor coverage rate and signal strength of 5G network in limestone mines, which are due to mountain shielding effect mined by hillside terraced fields.Finally, the difficulties of 5G mine network coverage were summarized from the aspects of supporting facilities, planning simulation and environmental dynamic change, and preliminary suggestions were given correspondingly.

Key words: 5G customized private network, mine network simulation, wireless coverage
