Power-line networks to extend ranges of 2.4 GHz wireless communications inside multi-storey buildings

Abstract: Wireless mobile ad-hoc networks (MANeT) provide hop-by-hop routes (e.g. 2.4 GHz ZigBee) along shortest paths to reach the controller from many sensor sources. An outdoor line-of-sight RF link can cover over 100 metres. However, inside a multi-storey building, the range often drops to less than 10 metres or is even completely blocked by floors and ceilings. The power-line network of a building can become an auxiliary signal transmission medium which would guide the weak signals from sensors at different locatio… Show more

“…Firmware design of this work is divided into embedded system and z-stack [4,5]. This protocol allows only one master and multiple slaves by using physical addressing technique and private area network ID which causes all the slaves to remain as slaves which is the significant restriction by this protocol.…”

“…The line impedance is 107 Ω (neutralearth) or 79 Ω (live-neutral) at 2.4 GHz. Radiations from the power cable network, especially at power points and equipment casings, do exist [8]. Although the power cable has a relatively high attenuation constant (5~6 dB/m), the concept of using this continuous path is still sound.…”

“…In addition, a hybrid wireless-broadband PLC (BPLC) system has been presented in [6] that utilizes the medium voltage power line cables for offering broadband services to remote areas. In [7], a hybrid PLC/RF system has been considered to improve the range of the RF signals in a multi-storey building. Here, PLC links work as a backbone to pass the RF signals between multiple rooms and floors.…”
