Abstract
We investigate MAC protocols for large powerline communications (PLC) networks using single frequency network (SFN) technique. The performances of the MAC protocols are evaluated by both analytical and simulation modeling. The analytical and simulation results are similar, and in some cases are almost the same. We also see the difference performance behavior of slotted ALOHA in the PLC-SFN networks compared with traditional communication systems.
