Abstract

This manuscript discusses the adaptive OFDM system for narrow-band power-line communications with nonwhite and cyclostationary noise environment. The bit and power allocation algorithm is proposed with the considerations on the cyclostationarity of power-line noise. Numerical evaluation shows that the proposed method can improve the average BER performance under PLC noise environment.
