Power line communication, that is, using the electricity infrastructure for data transmission, is
experiencing a renaissance in the context of Smart Grid. Smart Grid objectives include the …

Despite being a well-established ingredient to many wireless systems, multiple-input–
multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing has only recently been considered for broadband …

Are Power Line Communications (PLC) a good candidate for Smart Grid applications? The
objective of this paper is to address this important question. To do so, we provide an …

Power Line Communications (PLC) is a promising emerging technology, which has attracted
much attention due to the wide availability of power distribution lines. This book provides a …

In Part I of this work, we introduced multiconductor-transmission-line (MTL) theory to model
the indoor power-line (PL) channel. We have also shown that the proposed MTL approach …

Designing a system able to cope with a hostile channel is a typical challenge for data
communication engineers. High-data-rate communication over power lines is an exemplar …

We report here that channel power gain and Root-Mean-Square Delay Spread (RMS-DS) in
Low/Medium Voltage power line channels are negatively correlated lognormal random …

The characterization of the transfer function of the power line (PL) channel is a nontrivial task
that requires a truly interdisciplinary approach. Until recently, a common attribute and …

The electrical grid was not designed for the transmission of communication signals, which
are affected by impedance variations, attenuation, and Non-Intentional Emissions (NIEs) in …

Power-line communication (PLC) deals with the challenge of transmitting data over a
channel impaired by background and impulsive noises. In this paper, we provide evidence …
