Impacts of several factors on the PLC attenuation such as frequency and line length are investigated. A method, that permits to evaluate the influence of 50 Hz power signal on the attenuation of PLC transmission, is proposed as well.","PeriodicalId":153251,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications, 2005.","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114249358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All users of the system simultaneously receive transmitted signals with different reliabilities depending on their distance from the sender. Two possible ways of organizing communication are analyzed. The first algorithm includes transmission in a few steps, where each step is devoted to a reliable delivery of the message from one intermediate user to another one. All other users exclude themselves from the system for this step. The second algorithm assumes that all users of the system are active all the time, and they receive side information from communication of intermediate users, which allows them to reduce uncertainty about the original message. Lower bounds on the time needed to deliver a message over the system that follow from the capacity arguments for both methods are given. These bounds are illustrated by numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":153251,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications, 2005.","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125439287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurements have shown that noise bursts on powerline conductors occur at regular times during the 60 Hz cycle and it was observed that transmission bit errors coincide with these noise bursts. The paper describes an adaptive transmission protocol whereby transmission is suspended during periods of high interference and then continues during quiet intervals. In an experimental implementation in a commercial office environment, throughput was measured at about 80% of the nominal modem rate.","PeriodicalId":153251,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications, 2005.","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129041577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed scheme attempts to give a robust solution to the power line communication challenging task. Throughout the paper, the particular case of an adapted version of multi-carrier code-division-multiple-access (MC-CDMA) is considered, which is currently called spread-spectrum multicarrier multiple-access (SS-MC-MA). The presented algorithm assigns subcarriers, spreading codes, bits and energy per code to each user of the network in order to maximize the minimum data rate at a target symbol error rate (SER) and for a given power spectral density (PSD). Simulation results of the new scheme are presented for different measured PLC channels with impulsive noise and are compared with those of the classical discrete multitone modulation (DMT) approach. Then, it is shown that the proposed scheme offers higher throughput than DMT or less sensitiveness to impulse noise effects.","PeriodicalId":153251,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications, 2005.","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133681311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
