This work advances the study of indoor hybrid PLC-wireless channels when the frequency band delimited by 1.7 MHz and 100 MHz is taken into account. In this sense, a measurement campaign was carried out in a building facility to investigate the wireless signal propagation of these kind of channels. Based on the collected measures of PLC-wireless channels and additive noises, it is reported a agreement with previous works, in terms of average channel gain, power spectral density of additive noise and achievable data rates. Also, numerical results show that wireless signal propagation part of PLC-wireless channels can offer several hundreds of Mbps if a wireless device is located up to 6 meters from the power lines. Also, they show that PLC-wireless systems can be powerful tools to benefit wireless communication inside an office.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
