“…3, it can be seen that neither wireless nor PLC dominates performance when all 21 links are considered. This result is similar to the findings for the residential environment [8], where the wireless channel was better than the PLC channel for some links, and the reverse was true for others. Consistent with the conclusion made in [8] for residential homes, this establishes that system performance can also be improved in an office environment using wireless-PLC diversity.…”

The simultaneous use of wireless and power line communications (PLC) channels provides a convenient method for increasing the coverage and throughput of indoor networks. In this paper, we compare coding diversity and modulation diversity schemes that both utilize parallel wireless and PLC links. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) values used in this analysis are determined by conducting a series of average link gain measurements in an office environment. Measurement results show that both wireless and PLC SNRs have a wide range, but neither type of media is guaranteed to dominate performance for a given link. The empirical SNR values are used in a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the possible throughput advantages of coding and modulation wireless-PLC media diversity.

Modern railway services are required to deliver good quality services to the passenger throughout the whole journey. These include improved performances, safety, and reduce delays. There is also the requirement for in‐train customer experience such as infotainment and access to reliable communication systems. The railway industry has employed different types and generations of communication systems in recent times. Signaling systems were used at the early stage of the railway services. Today, communication systems such as the second‐generation communication system, also known as the global system for mobile communications (GSM), the Third‐generation (3G) and the Fourth‐generation (4G) are utilized in the railway industry. In this paper, we present a brief history of railway communication systems, their features and applications. In addition, we discuss the technical challenges and potential solutions of in‐train communication systems and how data can be distributed on‐board and between the train coaches using state of the art and hybrid communication technologies.
