I. Introduction
Most high-voltage cables are laid in the central urban area using trough boxes and cable trenches, making it difficult for monitoring equipment to maintain stable power supply and communication. It is also difficult to quickly locate faults during daily operation and maintenance monitoring of the line. There is no effective means of communication for distributed transmission line monitoring terminals. Firstly, the cable length is long, and there are many points that need to be monitored. The construction of point-to-point optical cable transmission is difficult, and the problem of communication power consumption is difficult to solve. Secondly, transmission tunnels and cable trenches are underground, making it difficult for wireless communication to penetrate. Traditional methods use public mobile communication (including 2G/3G/4G/5G[NB IOT) and private network wireless communication (4G/5G private network/Lera/FSK/wifi mesh network, etc.). Adopting these methods can solve some of the monitoring problems of overhead transmission lines. However, there are two major limitations: one is the high cost of private networks, and the other is that wireless communication cannot solve the problem of underground cable monitoring communication.
