Abstract :
This contribution focuses on the performance analysis of clustered-COFDM for high-rate and multiple access PLC systems in low voltage networks. Basically, clustered-COFDM systems are simulated and compared with a OFDM system working in the same frequency range. Numerical results indicate that the clustered-COFDM can be a very attractive and promising system for broadband PLC applications.
