“…Powerlines were originally developed to carry power hence its hostile nature comes from its characteristic impedances embedded in copper line design and as such they were not designed for data communication [12]. PLC channel is classified as a harsh communication channel that exhibits time varying characteristic and hence is difficult to model.…”

“…Due to ubiquitous nature of the transmission and distribution power grids, the structure of these grids-that is, low-voltage (LV), medium-voltage (MV), and high-voltage (HV) grids-is the key to developing an IP-based power system, offering a plethora of potential smart grid (SG) applications [1][2][3][4][5]. In the meanwhile, the deployment of broadband over power lines (BPL) networks through the entire transmission and distribution grid forms a potentially convenient and inexpensive communications medium for delivering broadband last mile access in remote and/or underdeveloped areas [6][7][8].…”

The need of bridging the digital gap between underdeveloped/developed areas and promoting smart grid (SG) networks urges the deployment of broadband over power lines (BPL) systems and their further integration. The contribution of this paper is fourfold. First, based on the well-established hybrid model of (Lazaropoulos and Cottis 2009 and the generic multidimensional network analysis tool presented in , Sartenaer 2004, Sartenaer and Delogne 2006, 2001) an exact multidimensional chain scattering matrix method, which is suitable for overhead high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) networks, is proposed and is evaluated against other theoretical and experimental proven models. Second, the proposed method investigates the overhead HV/BPL transmission grids (overhead 150 kV single-circuit, 275 kV double-circuit, and 400 kV double-circuit multiconductor structures) with regard to their end-to-end signal attenuation. It is found that the above features depend drastically on the overhead power grid type, the frequency, the MTL configuration, the physical properties of the cables used, the end-to-end distance, and the number, the length, and the terminations of the branches encountered along the end-toend BPL signal propagation. Third, the impact of the multiplicity of the branches at the same junction in overhead HV grids is first examined. Based on the inherent long-branch structure and the quasi-static behavior of single/multiple branches with matched terminations of overhead HV grid, a simple approach suitable for overhead HV/BPL channel estimation is presented. Fourth, identifying the similar characteristics among different overhead HV/BPL configurations, an additional step towards the common overhead HV/BPL analysis is demonstrated; the entire overhead HV/BPL grid may be examined under a common PHY framework regardless of the overhead HV/BPL grid type examined. Finally, apart from the presentation of broadband transmission potential of the entire overhead transmission power grid, a consequence of this paper is that it helps towards: (i) the better broadband monitoring and management of overhead HV transmission power grids in an interactive SG network; and (ii) the intraoperability/interoperability of overhead HV/BPL systems under the aegis of a unified transmission/distribution SG power network.

Abstract-Powerline communications (PLC) are receiving special attention since they use an already available and ubiquitous infrastructure. The main standard for PLC home networks is HomePlug. This work improves the throughput of HomePlug by modifying the medium access control sub-layer. The key idea is to define a fast collision avoidance mechanism where every station that wants to access the medium increments its contention window after sensing another ongoing transmission. The proposal reduces the number of collisions in the network improving the achievable throughput. We compared our mechanism to the original HomePlug standard through simulation and mathematical analysis. We verified that the improvement is independent from the packet size, the transmission rate and the number of nodes when the network is high loaded.
