In the realm of power line communication (PLC), impulsive noise is often regarded as the most difficult challenge to face in PLC. The impulsive noise effects are reduced by employing a combined adaptive least mean square (LMS) filtering and Reed Solomon (RS) coding. As a result, the bit error rate (BER) and throughput performance over this channel are enhanced. The results of a MATLAB computer simulation indicated that a significant improvement is achieved by utilizing the LMS adaptive filter in conjunction with the RS code. This is in contrast to a system that utilizes RS code alone or a system that utilizes the conventional time domain clipping approach.

“…Therefore, although PLC provides a convenient and inexpensive manner for signal transmission, which has attracted increasing attention, however, in practical applications, PLC will face several major challenges caused by the unfavorable conditions of power lines mentioned above, mainly including frequency-selective fading 2,3 and impulsive interference. [4][5][6] Focusing on these challenges, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is proven as an efficient method to resolve such problems multipath propagation and frequency selective fading in PLC. 7,8 But the impulsive noise over the PLC channel which is the most dominant one requires channel coding technology to address it.…”

SummaryPower lines have complex transmission characteristics and noise interference when used as information transmission channel, thus limiting their data‐carrying rate and reliability. Impulsive noise is the most dominant factor degrading the performance of communication systems over power lines. To combat the impulsive noise, polar codes are introduced into the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)‐based power line communication (PLC) system. Because the successive cancelation list bit‐flip (SCLF) decoding algorithm of polar codes has high decoding complexity, a low complexity segmented cyclic redundancy check (CRC)‐aided SCLF decoding is proposed to improve the decoding performance. The decoding process can be terminated early with segmented CRC, which can reduce the bit‐flip decoding complexity significantly with short and medium block lengths. Experimental results demonstrate that for various configurations, the proposed decoder outperforms the traditional CRC‐aided SCL decoder in terms of decoding performance and complexity, and the suggested polar codes‐based OFDM‐based PLC system can reduce the bit error rate of the system in the presence of impulsive noise.

“…In [ 22 , 23 ], authors analyzed security vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures for AMI applications. In [ 24 , 25 ], bit error rate performances (BER) were quantified for a PLC channel using OFDM modulation and a hamming code in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulsive noise. However, in this paper, the authors designed an AMI-NAN solution that selected an appropriate link, RF, or PLC to guarantee an uninterrupted communication between smart meters and data concentrators.…”

In the neighborhood area network (NAN), the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) enables a bidirectional connection between the smart meter (SM) and the data concentrator (DC). Sensors, such as smart meter nodes or environmental sensor nodes, play a crucial role in measuring and transmitting data to central units for advanced monitoring, management, and analysis of energy consumption. Wired and wireless communication technologies are used to implement the AMI-NAN. This paper delves into a novel approach for optimizing the choice of communication medium, air for radio frequency (RF) or power lines for power line communication (PLC), between the SM and DC in the context of the AMI-NAN. The authors methodically select the specific technologies, RF and NB-PLC (narrowband power line communication), and meticulously characterize their attributes. Then, a comparative analysis spanning rural, urban, and industrial settings is conducted to evaluate the proposed method. The overall reliability performance of the AMI-NAN system requires a packet error rate (PER) lower than 10%. To this end, an efficient approach is introduced to assess and enhance the reliability of NB-PLC and RF for AMI-NAN applications. Simulation results demonstrate that wireless communication is the optimal choice for the rural scenario, especially for a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) lower than 25 dB. However, in urban environments characterized by higher SNR values and moderately dense networks, NB-PLC gains prominence. In denser networks, it outperforms wireless communication, exhibiting a remarkable 10 dB gain for a bit error rate (BER) of 10−3. Moreover, in industrial zones characterized by intricate network topologies and non-linear loads, the power line channel emerges as the optimal choice for data transmission.
