Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are expected to be a critical component of 6th Generation
(6G) networks, providing ubiquitous, continuous, and scalable services. Satellites emerge as …

It is important that the strategic mine plan makes optimum use of available resources and
provides continuous quality ore to drive sustainable mining and profitability. This requires …

In remote regions (eg, mountain and desert), cellular networks are usually sparsely
deployed or unavailable. With the appearance of new applications (eg, industrial automation …

The trend in underground mine development is trackless transportation, and the scheduling
optimization of underground mine trackless transportation is a current research hotspot. This …

In the commonly used underground mine planning framework, mine design is first
established and is the main input for the subsequent long-term mine production scheduling …

With the rapid development of projects, firms are facing challenges in planning and
controlling complex multiple construction projects. This research, therefore, aims at …

Conventional underground long-term mine planning is based on a deterministic stepwise
framework, which is unable to effectively manage the synergies between the mine planning …

Underground mine production scheduling determines when, if ever, activities associated
with the extraction of ore should be executed. The accumulation of heat in the mine where …

Through offloading computing tasks to visible satellites for execution, the satellite edge
computing architecture effectively issues the high-delay problem in remote grids (eg …

This article describes a new model aiming at optimising short-and medium-term
underground mine scheduling. The problem complexity and the frequency at which planners …
