Resource Allocation Algorithm for Physical Layer of Broadband Power Line Carrier Communication Applied to Electric Internet of Things

Abstract

Broadband power line carrier communication adopts adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM technology to effectively increase the communication rate, and provides ample communication resource guarantee for the realization of power multiservice applications. Aiming at the problem of broadband power line carrier communication resource allocation, this paper proposes a low-complexity physical layer resource allocation algorithm. First, based on the equal power allocation method, the set of subcarriers required by each user to meet their minimum rate requirements is determined, and the multi-user resource allocation problem is reduced to a single-user optimal power allocation problem, and then the Lagrange multiplier method is used to optimize the power of the sub-carrier set used by each user to further improve the system throughput. Experiments show that the algorithm in this paper has higher throughput and can meet the minimum rate requirements of more users.
