Bit error rate of RS coded BFSK in broadband powerline channels with background Nakagami and impulsive noise

Subcarrier and Interleaver Assisted Burst Impulsive Noise Mitigation in Power Line Communication

“…In order to improve the reliability of PLC, it is essential to overcome a number of inherent challenges, such as frequency-selective fading and impulsive noise(IN). IN is generated due to the switching transients of electrical appliances and can be classified into three main types [3]: periodic IN asynchronous to the mains frequency, periodic IN synchronous to the mains frequency and asynchronous IN interferences. Most of all, asynchronous IN is the most dominant factor that degrades the communication signals, it varies from few microseconds to milliseconds in its duration.…”

Applications of Wireless Communications: Performance Analysis of Diversity Combining over Rayleigh Fading Channels with Impulsive Noise

“…For example, a power line communication (PLC) channel is mainly affected by the ever-present background noise and the occasional high-amplitude impulses. A standard model for characterizing impulses is to assume Gaussian distributed amplitude and Poisson distributed arrivals [4]. Moreover, studies [5][6][7][8] showed that the multiple access interference might result in a Symmetric-Alpha-Stable (SαS) distribution in a multi-user network with the power-law path loss.…”
