Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to wireless propagation modeling in underground mines involving various connections between wireless mesh radio network devices located in different sites of such complex environments. The model performance and accuracy is evaluated by comparing several predictions and measurements at 2.4 GHz taken along different routes in an experimental mine. Effects of the different deviations´ angles (corners) between galleries on signal behavior are also analyzed.
