Modeling and optimization of the access impedance of power line channels
Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):142 - 147
Cited by: Papers (9)
Digital networks can be established using the same set of wires that is used to distribute the power signal through our homes, the power-line channel (PLC). This networks have no new wires. However, the PLC channel has highly varying characteristics that need to be taken into account, namely the equivalent transmission line characteristic impedance and input impedance. The impedance seen at the in...Show More

Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):213 - 218
Cited by: Papers (8)
A dual-mode transmission system which utilizes the differential and common modes has been proposed. To improve the channel capacity, a simple diversity, which selected the better transmission mode at a client PC side, was examined at laboratory rooms in a building. It was found that the amount of throughput improvement was 45% compared with the conventional single mode transmission of differential...Show More

Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):7 - 12
Cited by: Papers (3)
In this study, we measured transmission loss characteristics of the power line and physical layer (PHY) rate through the power line communication (PLC) modem in order to examine how branching influences the PHY rate of the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. The branch of the power line was lengthened so that the attenuation peak was created in the frequency band used in the ...Show More

Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):189 - 194
Bit-interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BIC-OFDM) is a popular transmission format for high and also some low data rate power line communication (PLC) systems. In this paper, we consider the problem of optimizing the BIC-OFDM transmitter based on channel information feedback from the receiver side. In particular, the problem of adaptive bit-loading, power allocation, and ...Show More
Characterization of nonlinear channels in OFDM systems using signals with spectral notches
Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):249 - 254
In this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing nonlinear channels in real baseband OFDM communication systems. A novel method is proposed to estimate the frequency-domain Volterra kernels of nonlinear channels using OFDM signals with spectral notches. In this method, the OFDM signal is arranged in a way that each full-spectral OFDM symbol frame is followed by copies of the same OFDM symb...Show More
We consider orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for high data rate narrowband power line communication (PLC) in the frequency bands up to 500 kHz. In narrowband PLC, the performance is strongly influenced by the impulsive noise with very large amplitudes with short durations. Simple iterative impulsive noise suppression algorithms can effectively improve the error rate performance in...Show More

Adaptive modulation can improve the performance of OFDM systems significantly. In Power Line Communication systems, impulsive noise has to be considered due to its severe effect in the system performance. This paper deals with the effect of impulsive noise in adaptive power loading in OFDM-based PLC systems. We present a simple power loading algorithm with uniform bit allocation and nonuniform BER...Show More

Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):62 - 66
Cited by: Papers (4)
A simple method for performing characterization of live power lines is described that utilizes open source software and hardware and de-embedding of the line coupler response to derive S-parameters of an active power line channel. Examples of experimental results are shown that illustrate use of this technique in sensing various devices attached to the power line. This methodology should be straig...Show More
Data transmission through distribution transformers without bypass components
Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):13 - 17
Cited by: Papers (15)
Distribution transformers are generally assumed to block high frequency power line carrier signals and to require bypass networks where these signals must pass through a transformer. In a companion paper , distribution transformers have been shown to be relatively transparent at some frequencies opening the possibility of exploiting these transmission windows for the purposes of communication. In ...Show More
High-frequency characterization and modeling of distribution transformers
Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):18 - 21
Cited by: Papers (11)
Distribution transformers are generally assumed to block high frequency power line carrier signals and to require bypass networks where signals must cross a transformer. In this work, however, we show experimentally that significant coupling occurs at some frequencies both across distribution transformers and between different transformer phases in various commercial transformers. This suggests th...Show More

Possible applications of PLC in aircraft are investigated. The scenario which has been selected is a data transmission for the remote control of the lighting system of the cabin. Indeed, the tree-shaped architecture of the cabling is complicated enough to be representative of many other harness aircraft configurations. Narrow band and wide band channel characteristics are deduced from a theoretica...Show More

A filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) system having a high level of compatibility with the IEEE P1901 OFDM scheme is proposed. In order to reach the level of robustness, selectivity and performance required by the broadband power line, the approach is based on near perfect reconstruction (NPR) filters combined with OQAM modulation. A key feature of the approach is the fractionally-spaced sub-channel e...Show More

It has been reported that channel attenuation and Root-Mean-Square Delay Spread (RMS-DS) of in-home (IH) power line (PL) channels are (positively) correlated lognormal random variables. Exploiting this result, we here propose a simple statistical channel model where tap amplitudes and differential delay are correlated random variables. Although we focus here on the IH PL channel, we also report em...Show More

An access control method for multipoint cyclic data gathering over a PLC network
Publication Year: 2010,Page(s):285 - 290
Cited by: Papers (4)
This paper proposes a media access control method for a multipoint cyclic data gathering system, in which each node transmits its data to the base-station periodically. In such condition, by broadcasting ACK/NACK signals from the base-station, the proposed method ensures assignment of a time slot for each node once the node succeeds to transfer its data. It is confirmed that the proposed scheme re...Show More

In-vehicle signal transmission requires dedicated communication cables such as twisted metal wires and optical fiber cables, which increase the weight and the volume of wiring harnesses in vehicles. Furthermore, the number of electronic control units (ECUs) and the other electronic devices in vehicles is increasing. As a result, in-vehicle networks are becoming more and more complex and unstable. ...Show More
