Abstract

The performance of a link using the indoor power line network as a medium for communication strongly depends on the noise characteristics. Besides the background noise and the narrow band noise mainly due to broadcast transmitters, impulsive noise adversely affects the quality of service. This paper focuses on impulsive noise measurements, their statistical properties being the basis of a noise model for optimizing a transmission scheme.
