Optimization Research on Sensor Network Layout for Microseismic Monitoring Based on Location Error Analysis

This study develops a numerical framework for optimizing microseismic sensor network layouts in the Woxi Mine. Three candidate deployment schemes were evaluated by combining synthetic arrival-time perturbations with the classical Geiger localization algorithm under different uncertainty levels. The results show that localization performance is governed primarily by sensor layout geometry, which controls both the magnitude and the spatial distribution of localization errors. Event-wise robustness analysis indicates that the layout with the lowest overall localization error is not necessarily the one with the strongest spatial enclosure. These findings provide a geometry-based reference for the preliminary design and subsequent refinement of a mine-scale microseismic monitoring system in deep underground engineering.
