“…Instead, it achieves synchronization using the physical property of PLLs. Recent works studied PLC together with different wireless communication techniques to enhance performance of wireless networks [7,9,10]. In all these solutions, the power-lines are used to transmit data while Vidyut only transmits a reference clock.…”

Global synchronization across time and frequency domains significantly benefits wireless communications. Multi-Cell (Network) MIMO, interference alignment solutions, opportunistic routing techniques in ad-hoc networks, OFDMA etc. all necessitate synchronization in either time or frequency domain or both. This paper presents Vidyut, a system that exploits the easily accessible and ubiquitous power line infrastructure to achieve synchronization in time and frequency domains across nodes distributed beyond a singlecollision domain. Vidyut uses the power lines to transmit a reference frequency tone to which each node locks its frequency. Vidyut exploits the steady periodicity of delivered power signal itself to synchronize distributed nodes in time.We validate the extent of Vidyut's synchronization and evaluate its effectiveness. We verify Vidyut's suitability for wireless applications such as OFDMA and multi-cell MIMO by validating the benefits of global synchronization in an enterprise wireless network. Our experiments show a throughput gain of 8.2x over MegaMIMO, 7x over NEMOx and 2.5x over OFDMA systems.

“…Hence, they will require middlewares or convergence sublayers implemented in the gateways or powerful edge routers to be able to communicate among each other. The converged M2M gateway is able to perform protocol translation for different communications technologies, e.g., PLC with IEEE 802.15.4 proposed in [111]. The powerful edge devices are designed to efficiently surmount the issues of resource allocation and management, scheduling, admission control, as well as mobility with handover.…”

Abstract-The present electric power system structure has lasted for decades; it is still partially proprietary, energyinefficient, physically and virtually (or cyber) insecure, as well as prone to power transmission congestion and consequent failures. Recent efforts in building a smart grid system have focused on addressing the problems of global warming effects, rising energy-hungry demands, and risks of peak loads. One of the major goals of the new system is to effectively regulate energy usage by utilizing the backbone of the prospectively deployed Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI), and Demand Response (DR) programs via the advanced distribution automation and dynamic pricing models. The function of the power grid is no longer a system that only supplies energy to end users, but also allows consumers to contribute their clean energy back to the grid in the future.In the meantime, communications networks in the electric power infrastructure enact critical roles. Intelligent automation proposed in smart grid projects include the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition/Energy Management Systems (SCADA/EMS) and Phasor Management Units (PMU) in transmission networks, as well as the AMR/AMI associated with field/neighborhood area networks (FAN/NAN) and home area networks (HAN) at the distribution and end-use levels. This article provides an overview of the essentials of the progressive smart grid paradigm and integration of different communications technologies for the legacy power system. Additionally, foreseeable issues and challenges in designing communications networks for the smart grid system are also rigorously deliberated in this paper.

“…An example of simple network mixing RF and CPL is presented by Pengfei and Jiakun (2009), enabling PLC to relay data sent with RF. The paper from Ha et al (2007) insists on the strength of a heterogeneous network using RF and PLC with the design of the Cs-Layer convergence layer. Yamada et al (2007) shows that a delivery success of 70% on PLC and 82% on RF rise up to 90% when both media are used together.…”

The evolution of technology has made the connection of all types of devices to IP networks possible. In this paper, the authors investigate the possible usage of IPv6 in sensor networks connected through the Power Line Communication (PLC) non-wireless medium and demonstrate possible interoperability. This work is based on the adaptation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard protocol constrained by the low-power, lossy and low data-rate context of PLC transceiver that uses pulse modulation. The aim is to provide interoperability features with other media using a robust and reliable communication stack. The target application of such results ranges from smart metering and environment monitoring to home control and urban area energy efficiency applications. This paper proposes the first adaptation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard commons for the PLC medium. Following this standard interface, the authors demonstrate data communication on PLC with low power energy requirement using the pulse PLC physical layer. This paper also presents an initial implementation of the Routing Protocol for Low power and lossy networks (RPL) setup proposed by the IETF working group. In this context, the authors demonstrate interoperability in a testbed between PLC and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).
