Abstract

The power lines grid has been utilized for low-data-rate applications for some generations. Today, many are the challenges that this technology has presented to the communications engineering, when it is intended to offer high-speed data services. This article presents an evaluation of the noise and interference effects on an information byte transmitted over a PLC channel. The observations presented could be helpful in suitable design of the indoors PLC networks for a better data transfer and system performance.
