Abstract
Advanced communication technologies has allowed the power-line communication (PLC) channel to be a transmission medium that enables the transferring of high-speed digital data over the classical indoor electrical wires. The development of PLC systems for Internet, voice, and data services requires measurement-based models of the transfer characteristics of the power-line network suitable for performance analysis by simulation. In this paper, a statistical-based and deterministic PLC channel frequency model was proposed. This model has the advantage of using only one parameter: the channel class. Related software is also developed. In this paper, this model is further improved to represent the measured impulse responses, and related software is developed. First, a PLC channel classification is realized, and an average magnitude and phase channel model by class is proposed. Second, the multipath behaviour of the PLC channel is introduced: a statistical-based channel magnitude generator is built, and a refined phase model is suggested. Finally, the related software is briefly described.
