This paper analyses the effects of noise in a real Automated Meter Reading (AMR) environment where Power Line Communication (PLC) is used for meter reading. The aim is to give an analysis of periodic noise properties through its effect on a B-FSK based PLC system and to compare different error correction techniques under different constraints of attenuation and noise produced by the real loads installed in the network. Tests have been carried out using two different channel frequencies in the CENELEC A band taking into account frequency dependence of the line.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
