Performance Analysis of PLC with Turbo Code and OFDM by Sending Image

Abstract

Performinga Power Line Communication (PLC) analysis has been presented in this study. PLC technology enables the transmission of data through the electrical supply network. Since, the power line is designed for the distribution of power, it is not a good way for the purpose of communication and there is a need for advanced methods of communication for effective communication across the channel. At performing a PLC Model, there are many important considerations that the PLC communication is affected with such as nature of channel and the noise interference, therefore, the model consists of a power line model and a noise model. The PLC Model has been presented Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver system integrated with 8-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (8-QAM) and turbo code. Sending a picture over a channel can be represented as sending a large of data. Hence,the system simulations of this research are achieved by sending colored pictures over the proposed PLC channel. Also, the system is performed sending colored picture over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel simulation for different Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The simulation results which are achieved by MATLAB program show good performance of the system that consists of the power line and noise channel model.
