“…Wideband digital communication systems, including digital audio broadcasting (DAB), terrestrial digital television (DVB-T), wireless local area networks (LANs), and Wi-Max, all employ OFDM since it is a well-established multicarrier transmission method. OFDM performs better than single-carrier systems [2], [4], [14] when exposed to impulsive noise. This is because OFDM, using the discrete fourier trasform (DFT), distributes the influence of impulsive noise across several symbols.…”

In the realm of power line communication (PLC), impulsive noise is often regarded as the most difficult challenge to face in PLC. The impulsive noise effects are reduced by employing a combined adaptive least mean square (LMS) filtering and Reed Solomon (RS) coding. As a result, the bit error rate (BER) and throughput performance over this channel are enhanced. The results of a MATLAB computer simulation indicated that a significant improvement is achieved by utilizing the LMS adaptive filter in conjunction with the RS code. This is in contrast to a system that utilizes RS code alone or a system that utilizes the conventional time domain clipping approach.

“…Hence, PLC is an attractive and cost-effective method for transmitting data from all devices plugged into the power plugs, such as sensors and actuators. Therefore, using PLC as a communication technology avoids adding another infrastructure for data exchange by using the power line 1 – 3 . Power line communication is divided into two categories based on the data rate; narrow band power line and broadband power line communications 4 , 5 .…”

Power Line Communication technology uses power cables to transmit data. Knowing whether a node is working in advance without testing saves time and resources, leading to the proposed model. The model has been trained on three dominant features, which are SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), and CINR (Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio). The dataset consisted of 1000 readings, with 90% in the training set and 10% in the testing set. In addition, 50% of the dataset is for class 1, which indicates whether the node readings are optimum. The model is trained with multi-layer perception, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine with linear and non-linear kernels, Random Forest, and adaptive boosting (ADA) algorithms to compare between statistical, vector-based, regression, decision, and predictive algorithms. ADA boost has achieved the best accuracy, F-score, precision, and recall, which are 87%, 0.86613, 0.9, 0.8646, respectively.

“…Currently, PLC systems have been well investigated for indoor (in-home [2], in-building [3], and vehicle [4]) and outdoor (medium-voltage [5] and low-voltage [6,7]) electric power circuits. Electric power systems are data communication media for assisting low-cost and pervasive data networks for in-home and smart grid applications [8].…”

This paper introduces an analog notch filtering-based coupling circuit for receivers in ultra-narrowband and narrowband power line communication systems, which are connected to low-voltage electric power grids. It is composed of a twin-T notch analog filter, which is responsible for imposing a significant attenuation on the main frequency (i.e., f0∈{50,60} Hz) in cascade with an elliptic low-pass analog filter, designed with a 3 dB cut-off frequency of fc≫f0. For f0=60 Hz and fc=2 MHz, the prototype of the analog notch filtering-based coupling circuit attains attenuation values of 22 dB and less than 2 dB at the main frequency and in the rest of the frequency bandwidth, respectively, when practical scenarios are considered. Lastly, it shows that the analog notch filtering-based coupling circuit is more effective than a typical capacitive coupling circuit when frequencies lower than 3 kHz are considered for data communication and sensing purposes.
