Performance Evaluation of PLC Under the Combined Effect of Background and Impulsive Noises
TLDR
The analysis presented in this letter closely predicts the behavior of the PLC system under the combined effect of background and impulsive noises.Abstract:
Power line communication (PLC) is the use of power lines for the purpose of electronic data transmission. The presence of additive noise, namely, background noise and impulsive noise, significantly affects the performance of a PLC system. While the background noise is modeled by Nakagami- $m$ distribution, the impulsive noise is modeled using Middleton class A distribution. In this letter, we study the performance of a PLC system under the combined effect of Nakagami- $m$ background noise and Middleton class A impulsive noise assuming binary phase shift keying signaling. The probability density function of decision variable under the influence of additive noise (sum of background noise and impulsive noise) is derived. We also derive an analytical expression for the average bit error rate of the considered PLC system. The analytical expressions are validated by close matching to the simulation results. The analysis presented in this letter closely predicts the behavior of the PLC system under the combined effect of background and impulsive noises.read more

Performance Analysis of a Dual-Hop Wireless-Power Line Mixed Cooperative System
TL;DR: Analysis of a dual-hop wireless-power line mixed communication setup employing a decode-and-forward relay in terms of analytical average bit error rate (BER), outage probability, and average channel capacity finds that the system performance deteriorates as the impulsive noise index and the arrival probability of theImpulsive component of the PLC additive noise increase.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of power lines for high bit rate applications is studied. But, the authors focus on the power line communication, which is originally devised to transmit electric power from a small number of sources to a large number of sinks, and the first data transmission were primarily done only to protect sections of the power distribution system in case of faults.
