Abstract
Aimed at inspiring researchers and practitioners, this paper presents comprehensive and multidimensional discussions of the potential and benefits of integrating power line and wireless communication systems to enhance data communication in both indoor and outdoor environments. By systematically examining the strengths and weaknesses of power line and wireless communication systems, we first elucidate the rationale behind their integration—hybrid communication systems. Then we categorize these hybrid communication systems and provide an in-depth analysis of each category, considering technical, chronological, industrial, and standardization aspects. Moreover, we discuss strategies for designing hybrid communication devices. Next, a qualitative assessment of hybrid communication systems follows, offering guidance for advancing their use, while a concise summary of key lessons imparts valuable insights for future endeavors. Lastly, the paper identifies a range of pertinent topics for further exploration and, consequently, advancing hybrid communication systems for smart grid, Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0 or 5.0 applications.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues.
A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
