Abstract

This paper presents a green data transmission approach to enhance the energy efficiency of power line communications (PLC) by jointly utilizing signal detection and resource allocation techniques. Due to the awareness of the interference as enabled by the signal detection function, the proposed PLC system can adaptively adjust the transmission parameters. Furthermore, given a power budget, a performance optimization algorithm is proposed that maximizes the energy efficiency of PLC by optimally choosing the signal detection duration and the transmit power. Simulation results show that the proposed system can not only mitigate the effects of interference, but also considerably improve the energy efficiency of PLC when compared with the existing PLC systems.
