Abstract:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multicarrier Code DivisionMultiple Access (MC-CDMA) systems are comparatively evaluated for Power Line Communications (PLC) in a frequency-selective fading environment with additive colored Gaussian noise which is used to model the actual in-home powerline channel. OFDM serves as a benchmark in order to measure the performance of various MC-CDMA systems, since multicarrier modulation systems are considered the best candidate for this kind of channel.

“…The STBC scheme applied in our study utilizes two emitting points / antennas and two receiving points/ antennas for the examined channels (hereafter referred to as STBC2x2). The transmission matrix used to produce the space-time encoder and decoder was described in (5). For the PLC application it is essential to use equal number of transmitting and receiving points.…”

“…Reed-Solomon codes, repetition coding, block and convolutional coding are different forward error correction techniques that have been proposed for applications recently [4]. Turbo coding is a fairly new coding technique proposed in [5] for improving the performance of PLC systems. Besides, spacetime coding is a coding-modulation technique for multiple emitting and receiving antennas/points [3], which has been investigated recently in PLC [6]- [8], as well as in satellite communications [9]- [11].…”
In this paper Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) is examined in powerline and satellite communications, comparing the gains that this coding-modulation technique provides to these communications systems. The powerline environment is assumed to be a frequency-selective, multipath fading environment with Additive White Class A Noise (AWCN), which is used to model the actual powerline noise characteristics. The satellite channel for urban area, modeled as a combination of Rayleigh and lognormal processes with the presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is also studied. System efficiency is enhanced by the application of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), convolutional coding and block interleaving and the performance of different Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulation schemes under the imposed channel conditions is investigated. The performance of the system is assessed by the commonly used Bit Error Rate (BER) vs. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) diagrams and there is also a comparison regarding the throughput efficiency among the examined systems. As stated in the results section, STBC can be used in powerline and satellite communications providing remarkable results, comparable to those in terrestrial wireless communications where STBC is nowadays a rather mature technique.

“…Because there are heavy electromagnetic radiations caused by the high-frequency signals in BPL, which will result in interferences with other communication equipments, OFDM is also used to share the same frequency band with wireless radio businesses. To implement multi-access, Time Division Multiplexing Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (FDMA) and Code Division Multiplexing Access (CDMA) are usually used in BPL [4]. For the purpose of making the frequency resources to be used effectively with good communication reliability and raising the spectral efficiency, a multi-access program for BPL communication is proposed on the basis of Orthogonal Pulse Division Multiplexing Access (OPDMA), Barker-code-based Spectrum Spreading (BSS) and OFDM technology.…”
SUMMARYA highly efficient multi-access scheme of broadband power line (BPL) communication, named as OFDM-BPS-OPDMA, is proposed based on the Orthogonal Pulse Division Multiplexing Access (OPDMA), Barker-code-based Spectrum Spreading (BSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method. The orthogonal pulses are generated by using the eigenvectors of Hermitian matrix. At the same time, a specific pulse will be allocated to every user of the communication system. The transmitting data are first modulated by OFDM. Then, it is processed with OPDMA and BSS. Finally, the data is sent to the power line channel. On the receiving side, the data is processed with BSS demodulation, OPDMA demodulation and OFDM demodulation, and the receiving data for each user is acquired. Because of the orthogonality between these pulses, the multi-user interference could be eliminated; when BSS is used, the waveform restoration is enhanced. Meanwhile, with the help of OFDM, the multi-path interference is mitigated. Particularly, all users can share the resources of time and spectrum without interfering with others, and get excellent reliability in the concerned scheme. When OFDM is used, the sub-carriers may be allocated dynamically, and the legal radio frequency band could be shunned by sharing the common bandwidth with other communication systems.
