煤矿井下UWB快速定位方法研究

    Research on fast UWB positioning method for underground coal mines

    • 摘要: 针对煤矿井下UWB(Ultra−Wideband,UWB)定位系统在采用DS−TWR(Double−Sided Two−Way Ranging,DS−TWR)流程实现一维定位时,需要在2个设备间完成2次数据交互才能测距,造成通信频繁、并发处理能力受限等问题,为此,提出了一种基于单次交互的DS−TWR快速定位方法。首先,在通信机制方面,引入了随机延时入网策略,以减少多标签设备同时请求入网时可能发生的信号冲突;同时,在发射端加入信道嗅探功能,仅在检测到信道空闲时才发送入网请求,而非传统方法的直接发送:这种改进能够有效避免多个设备同时发送入网请求时发生信号碰撞而导致的入网失败,进而提升测距的稳定性,进一步结合双天线时分复用技术,显著提升读卡器在多标签场景下的轮询效率与处理吞吐率。其次,在测距流程上,将传统方法中分离的入网帧与测距帧融合为多功能测距帧,使系统能够在单次信号交互中同时完成入网确认与距离测量;通过结合当前轮次与历史轮次的时间戳信息,构建可计算距离的完整时间戳集合,实现了单次交互等效于传统2次交互的测距效果,有效降低了通信开销与测距时延,在无需额外硬件资源的前提下,系统并发接入能力得到了显著增强。最后,在乌海能源老石旦煤矿对系统并发定位性能进行了验证,结果表明:该方法在保持与DS−TWR相同定位精度的前提下,将单次测距周期缩短至3.3 ms,可支持每秒100个标识卡的并发测距,且测距成功率高达99%。

       

      Abstract: To address the issues of frequent communication and limited concurrency in underground coal mine ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning systems using double-sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR) for one-dimensional localization, which traditionally requires two exchanges between devices to measure distance, this study proposes a rapid localization method that accomplishes network access and ranging within a single exchange. Firstly, in terms of communication mechanism, a random delay network access strategy is introduced to reduce the potential signal conflicts that may occur when multiple tag devices simultaneously request network access. At the same time, a channel sniffing function is added at the transmitter end, and the network access request is sent only when the channel is detected to be idle, rather than being sent directly as in traditional methods. This improvement can effectively avoid signal collisions when multiple devices simultaneously send network access requests, which could otherwise lead to access failure, thereby enhancing the stability of distance measurement. Further, by combining with the dual-antenna time-division multiplexing technology, the polling efficiency and processing throughput of the reader in multi-tag scenarios are significantly improved. Secondly, in the ranging process, the separated access frame and ranging frame in the traditional method are integrated into a multi-functional ranging frame, enabling the system to simultaneously complete the access confirmation and distance measurement in a single signal interaction. By combining the timestamp information of the current round and historical rounds, a complete timestamp set for calculating distance is constructed, achieving the ranging effect equivalent to the traditional two-round interaction in a single interaction, effectively reducing communication overhead and ranging delay, and without the need for additional hardware resources, the concurrent access capability of the system has been significantly enhanced. Finally, the concurrent positioning performance of the system was verified at Wuhai Energy Laoshandan Coal Mine. The results showed that, while maintaining the same positioning accuracy as the DS TWR, this method reduced the single measurement cycle to 3.3 ms, enabling concurrent ranging for 100 identification cards per second, and the ranging success rate reached as high as 99%.
