Most, if not all, existing studies on power line communication (PLC) systems as well as
industrial PLC standards are based on orthogonal multiple access schemes, such as …

This paper studies the performance of a half-duplex (HD) two-way relay (TWR) in power line
communication (PLC) over a log-normal fading channel with impulsive noise. We consider …

To extend the lifetime of wireless multihop networks suffering from energy scarcity of
constituent nodes, we apply a wireless power transfer (WPT) technology to multihop …

Owing to the openness and diversification of heterogeneous communication network,
communication security becomes a pressing problem. In this paper, we consider a …

Relaying over power line communication (PLC) channels has the potential to improve the
reliability and robustness of many PLC-based applications. In particular, this paper proposes …

The high attenuation which increases as frequency increases in power line communication
systems (PLC) makes achieving and sustaining high data rates over such channels a …

This work addresses the use of hybrid power line-wireless channels, which are defined as
the concatenation of power line communication (PLC) and wireless communication (WLC) …

This paper investigates the benefits that energy harvesting (EH) can offer to increase energy
efficiency in hybrid power line/wireless data communication systems for smart grid (SG) and …

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has recently been proposed for dual-hop
cooperative relaying power line communication (PLC) systems. Unlike conventional NOMA …

Reliable data transmissions and offering better mobility to the end user can be achieved by
integrating different communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the performance of …
