Resource allocation in OFDM-based PLC systems impaired by additive impulsive Gaussian noise

Abstract

This work outlines a procedure for choosing the gap from the Shannon capacity curve in order to solve resource allocation problems in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexingbased power line communication systems impaired by impulsive Gaussian noise. In this regard, we perform statistical analyses of additive impulsive Gaussian noise models in order to measure the effect of the noise information on the proposed technique. Next, we solved resource allocation problems under symbol error rate constraint to verify the correctness of the proposed technique.Index Terms-Resource allocation, bit loading algorithm, impulsive noise, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, power line communication.

Resource Allocation in HS-OFDM-based PLC Systems: A Tutorial

“…In fact, several works address only specific aspects of the resource allocation problem. Among these, [42] sketches an RA resource allocation procedure for PLC systems impaired by additive impulsive Gaussian noise, deriving equations for bit and energy allocation, taking into consideration an SER constraint and data rate maximization. However, a detailed formulation, as well as a discussion on a formulation for the MA case and on recurrent issues in the implementation of the procedure are missing in the paper.…”
