Fifty Years of Noise Modeling and Mitigation in Power-Line Communications.
Building on the ubiquity of electric power infrastructure, power line communications (PLC) has been successfully used in diverse application scenarios, including the smart grid and in-home broadband communications systems as well as industrial and home automation. However, the power line channel exhibits deleterious properties, one of which is its hostile noise environment. This article aims for providing a review of noise modeling and mitigation techniques in PLC. Specifically, a comprehensive review of representative noise models developed over the past fifty years is presented, including both the empirical models based on measurement campaigns and simplified mathematical models. Following this, we provide an extensive survey of the suite of noise mitigation schemes, categorizing them into mitigation at the transmitter as well as parametric and non-parametric techniques employed at the receiver. Furthermore, since the accuracy of channel estimation in PLC is affected by noise, we review the literature of joint noise mitigation and channel estimation solutions. Finally, a number of directions are outlined for future research on both noise modeling and mitigation in PLC
Improving ADSL Performance with Selective QAM Mapping and Hybrid ARQ
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a high-rate transmission standard used for broadband access. Error performance and bandwidth efficiency are the two main concerns in ADSL transmission, hence prompting the need for appropriate techniques to provide improved error protection and noise robustness in ADSL systems. This paper proposes an enhanced ADSL transmission model which incorporates Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM), selective or prioritised QAM constellation mapping and Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest HARQ with diversity combining. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a significant gain of over 3 dB in Eb/No over a conventional ADSL system which does not use HARQ. It also achieves a 30 percent gain in throughput over a conventional ADSL which uses HARQ without diversity combining.Keywords: ADSL, Selective QAM, TCM, HARQ, Diversity Combining.Cite as:A B N Goolamhossen, T P Fowdur "Improving ADSL Performance with Selective QAM Mapping and Hybrid ARQ ", ADBU J.Engg.Tech., 2(1)(2015) 0021103(7pp
