“…Although each no-new-wires technology claims to provide raw data rates above 100 Mbps, the achievable throughput above MAC is considerably lower due to lower-layer overhead, according to the literature [2] and our measurements. Also, due to the half-duplex, broadcast nature of household cableline, phoneline and powerline plants, the overall capacity is further shared by all attached devices communicating in all directions.…”

Emerging broadband entertainment applications such as IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and whole-house PVR (Personal Video Recorder) bring new challenges to existing home networks. Gigabit Ethernet is an obvious choice, but consumers are still reluctant due to the need for rewiring in most dwellings. Several "no-new-wires" technologies have been proposed in recent years, but there is little work on how to distribute IPTV, VoIP (Voice over IP) and data traffic together effectively and efficiently in a household environment. In this paper, we propose a wireless/wired-hybrid, multi-link structure for broadband home networks, and investigate its feasibility and performance through a multimedia over multi-link testbed. Our measurement study shows that the proposed multi-link structure can improve the performance, reliability and availability of home networks considerably, indicating that it is an attractive approach to multimedia in-home distribution. In addition, the paper also discusses the challenges and approaches in further improving the performance of heterogeneous, multi-link home networks.

“…In contrast, consumers can install micro-filters and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or cable modems themselves for broadband Internet access, which is a cost-effective, scalable approach for service providers as well. It is found that inhouse rewiring now has become a big barrier to a fast-growing, profitable consumer IPTV market [2].…”

“…Tenda PH10 AV1000 AC Wi-Fi power line kit supports all modern networking standards up to 802.11ac. The adaptor kit utilizes AC650 dual-band Wi-Fi technology, ensuring speeds of 433 Mbps on 5 GHz band and 200 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band [21]. The AV1000 AC Wi-Fi powerline adapter features an ethernet port for connecting it to the wireless or Wi-Fi router, while the AV1000 AC Wi-Fi powerline extender has an additional gigabit ethernet port for stable connections with wired devices such as remote surgical devices, telemedicine equipment, printer, TV, HD set-top box, and so on [22].…”

“…One of the earliest attempts to utilize home's electrical wiring to transfer information between household devices was the consumer electronic bus (CE bus) power-line carrier technology [20]. The development of a high-speed PLC standard began with the establishment of the data networking subcommittee R7.3 by the consumer electronics association towards the end of 1999 [21]. The primary goal of PLC technology is to achieve data speeds of up to 20 Mbit/s over power-line connections.…”

E-health is being adapted in modern hospitals as a significant addition to the existing healthcare services. To this end, modern hospitals urgently require a mobile, high-capacity, secure, and cost-effective communication infrastructure. In this paper, we explore potential applications of a hybrid broadband power line communication (PLC) and Wi-Fi in an indoor hospital scenario. It utilizes the existing power line cables and Wi-Fi plug-and-play devices for indoor broadband communication. Broadband power line (BPL) adaptors with Wi-Fi outputs are used to build an access network in hospitals, particularly in areas where the wireless router signal is poor. The Tenda PH10 AV1,000 AC Wi-Fi power line adapter is a set of BPL adapters that offer operational bandwidth of up to 1,000 Mbps. These adapters are based on the HomePlug AV2 protocol and can provide a data rate up to 200 Mbps on the physical layer. An experiment using the PLC Wi-Fi kit is carried out to show that a Wi-Fi and PLC hybrid network is the best candidate to provide wide range of practical applications in a hospital including, but not limited to, telemedicine, electronic medical records, early-stage disease diagnosis, health management, real-time monitoring, and remote surgeries.

Home automation is expected to increase comfort and security around the house and provide economic benefits through energy conservation. An ideal home automation system would relieve the inhabitant of a house of any unwanted manual control of every appliance and electrical or gas equipment in the house and would provide for an automated environment that would be aware of specific user needs and habits and program the operation of these appliances accordingly. Given the recent advances and drop in costs in computers, fiber optics, and multimedia communications, the concept of home automation systems has been extended to include data, voice, and visual communications inside a home. The recent expansion of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) coupled with efficient home automation systems may provide an additional added value to the concepts of telecommuting; home schooling; interaction between students, teachers, and parents; home entertainment; and remote efficient resource management of home appliances.
