Thus, OFDM has been adopted for high speed data transmission of multimedia traffic such as HomePlug A/V and Mobile WiMax. However, OFDM also has a drawback of a high PAPR (peak-to-average-power-ratio). This high PAPR takes place due to parallel processing of a number of data at once using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor. Due to this high PAPR amplifier usually does not act in dynamic range. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can reduce PAPR using selective mapping (SLM) in power line communication (PLC) channel. In order to utilize SLM technique, side information needs to be transmitted for demodulation while degrading transmission efficiency. We propose and analyze scaled SLM technique which removes necessity of the side information.","PeriodicalId":321296,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127845710","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}

First, in case of power line transmission model without the circuit line, it was confirmed that the transmission loss characteristics inside a circuit breaker and through a main breaker are almost the same characteristics, but the transmission loss in the in-phase is smaller by about 10dB than that in the out-of-phase. PHY rate of in-phase transmission is full PHY rate of about 185Mbps, but PHY rate of out-of-phase transmission decreases to 150Mbps. Next, in case of power line transmission model with the branch line, the transmission loss characteristic in the in-phase and the out-of-phase transmissions had sharp attenuation of about 20dB at the frequency of around 4MHz, because of the signal resonance in the branch line (10m length). However, this sharp attenuation did not affect to PHY rate in the in-phase transmission, if anything, in the out-of-phase transmission, PHY rate was improved by the branch line. Finally, PHY rate of PLC modem was calculated by MATLAB/ Simulink, and compared with measurement value. It was understood that the calculation value almost agreed with the measurement one in the in-phase transmission.","PeriodicalId":321296,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116244050","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 broadband PLC has regulation issues for the coexistence with shortwave wireless systems. Therefore, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted for the broadband PLC. On the other hand, the power line channels suffer from frequency selective fading. It is effective to load appropriate bits on each subcarrier in the OFDM for PLC. In this paper, we propose a bit loading algorithm that maximizes the bit rate by optimizing not only the bit quantity on each subcarrier but also the whole code rate of the forward error correction (FEC) code subject to constraints on the total bit error rate (BER) and power on each subcarrier. Furthermore, we investigate orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) as a multiple access scheme on the in-home power line networks. We show that the proposed OFDMA scheme is superior to a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme from the viewpoint of throughput by computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":321296,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117069315","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}

Impulsive components can be classified into three groups according to their behavior with respect to the mains cycle: periodic synchronous with the mains, periodic asynchronous with the mains and aperiodic. Periodic asynchronous terms are the most interesting ones because they have significant spectral components in the band used by broadband power-line communication systems. This paper presents a detailed analysis of this noise component in the frequency band up to 25MHz. By means of a methodology that combines both frequency and time domain techniques, repetition rates and pulse waveforms are obtained even in scenarios in which the remaining noise terms have significant level.","PeriodicalId":321296,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130816505","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}

In particular, we argue here that, while multipath propagation in wireless channels gives rise to Rayleigh distributed fading, multipath in PL channels gives rise to lognormally distributed fading similarly to shadow fading. We also report for the first time that both channel gain and Root-Mean-Square Delay Spread (RMS-DS) of indoor channels are lognormally distributed, leptokurtic and negatively correlated, thus suggesting that channels that introduce severe multipath are also characterized by large attenuation. These results are used to define a simplified PL channel model useful for comparative analysis of communication schemes and, at the same time, to draw some general conclusions on the design of multicarrier schemes.","PeriodicalId":321296,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126700854","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}
