Description: Broadband
Powerline Communications: Network Design covers the applications of broadband
PLC systems in low-voltage supply networks, a promising candidate for the
realization of cost effective solutions for “last mile” communications
networks. There are many activities surrounding the development and application
of PLC technology in the access area, particularly because of strong interest
of new network providers after the deregulation of telecommunications market.
Nowadays, there are no existing standards for broadband PLC networks, which use
a frequency range up to 30 MHz.
This book:
Offers
explanations on how broadband PLC networks are realized, what the important
characteristics for the transmission on electrical power grids are, and which
implementation solutions have been recently considered for the realization of broadband PLC systems.
Considers
various system realizations, disturbance scenarios and their impact the
transmission in PLC networks, electro-magnetic compatibility, applied
modulation schemes, coding, and error handling methods.
Pays particular
attention to the specifics of the PLC MAC layer and its protocols, as well as
the modelling and performance evaluation of broadband PLC networks.
