Performance Analysis of Parallel Relayed Power Line Communication

Abstract

This paper is representing the performance analysis of a power line communication (PLC) system where the channel is lognormally faded and system model consists of a parallel relaying channel for the signal transmission from source to destination, assuming binary shift keying modulation scheme. The channel is corrupted by impulsive noise and background noise, hence the additive noise is considered as Bernoulli-Gaussian process. Also the performance analysis of parallel relayed power line communication system is carried out with varying threshold and varying the number of relays in the system.
