Abstract :
This paper reviews existing noise models including both background and impulsive noise for the in-home PLC scenario, highlighting similarities and differences. With reference to the impulsive noise, it is shown that a simple model, in the frequency band up to 100 MHz, can be derived by considering the noise generated at the source and taking into account the effect of the channel. Capacity considerations are then made, comparing erasure decoding strategies or full decoding strategies.
