Load Modeling of Broadband Power Line Communication (BPLC) Network

Mini S. Thomas, Vinay Kumar Chandna, Seema Arora

Power line communication technology uses power lines for its data communication. This technology takes profits from the advantage of not requiring any additional wiring and thus offers an inexpensive medium for data transmission. For data communication, it is necessary to determine the characteristics of the Powerline channel which has been considered as a medium not only for low-rate, control purpose communication, but also for high-speed data communication. However, the power line channel is extremely difficult to model as it is a very noisy transmission medium. For creating a complete PLC communication system, there is necessity to create model of channels. The simulations and analysis carried out in this work will help in characterization of broadband power line communication (BPLC) network. The paper also provides insight into the laboratory facilities for research in performance analysis of BPLC network at Jamia Millia Islamia.
