Highlights

  • In the paper entitled “Improved maximum likelihood spread frequency shift keying (S-FSK) receiver for PLC modem in automatic meter reading (AMR),” Bali and Rebai present an optimized software implementation of a narrow band Power-line modem

  • After going through a conscientious peer-review process, six papers have been selected. These papers make an inspiring ensemble with a topic spectrum ranging from improved maximum likelihood detection of spread frequency shift keying (S-FSK) in PLC automatic meter reading (AMR), radiation mitigation for PLC, optimal receiver impedance design for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) maximization in broadband PLC, PLC for Smart Grid applications, improvements of G3-PLC technology for Smart-Home/Building applications, and an overview of the HomePlug AV2 technology

  • The modem is a node in an automatic meter reading (AMR) system which is compliant to the IEC 61334-5-1 profile and operates in the CENELECA band
