  2. content Introduction Models attenuation, noise Impulsive noise - Middleton Class A - Capacity Modulation and Coding (touch) OFDM; FSK; Reed Solomon Codes; Permutation Codes Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  3. Powerline communication model Information coupling Information coupling Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  4. Powerline communications access (narrowband) indoor (broadband) Meter reading internet, telephony (2000) indoor (plug-play) load control, -management(1920 London) the electrical power utility in London used PLC to remotely control some of its equipment on the grid (such as high-voltage switches) in the 1920s. This technique is still employed by several utilities that use analog or digital devices to transfer 9.6 Kbits/s over many miles of electrical cable. Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  5. Do you need technical problems? • capacity: it is not AWGN • noise F(frequency), Phase (10°) • interference Services, Radio amateurs • impulse noise man made ( > 30dB + ) • narrow band monitor, broadcasters, etc • attenuation 40-100dB/Km • multipath indoor (30 MHz) • regulations modulation - EMC Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  6. Impulse noise (Japanese measurements) Who is vacuum cleaning? Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  7. Middleton Class-A noise model Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  8. Example: A = 0.2 2G/2I = 0.01 impulsive m = 0 e-A  0.8G2 m = 1 0.2 e-A 501 G2 m = 2 0.02 e-A 1001G2 small A Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  9. Q: Capacity when side information available ? σm2 encode modulator channel detection decode average power S difference in capacity or error rate ? Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  10. Capacity for Additive White Gaussian Noise Noise Input X Output Y W is (single sided) bandwidth Input X is Gaussian with power spectral density (psd) ≤S/2W; Noise is Gaussian with psd = 2noise Output Y is Gaussian with psd = y2 = S/2W + 2noise For Gaussian Channels: y2 =x2 +noise2 Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  11. Noise X Y X Y Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  12. Channel state - +: known at receiver - -: unknown at receiver T = G2 / I2 Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  13. Channel state + + : known at receiver + -: unknown at receiver T = G2 / I2 conclusion: inform receiver Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  14. RESULT C b/Hz from a capacity point of view, spreading destroys information! 15 10 A = T = 0.01 Gain -10log10T dB 5 -10 0 10 20 SNR Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  15. How to gain back the loss? -Let me think- Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  16. How to gain back the loss? freq time freq. F- F Info Info impulsive noise + N symbols narrowband noise + Diversity! Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  17. Iterative Impulsive noise suppression! (ISPLC2000) received IF-1 + n I‘ IF-1 + n– n* I + (n-n*)F - F detect n* n‘F n‘ estimate F-1 Simple version - detect: minimum (Euclidean) distance - estimate: n* = 0 for n‘ < Threshold Jürgen Häring Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  18. More sophisticated (complicated) receiver • Remarks: • n > 128 necessary for convergence • convergence after 2 steps • for SNR  0 dB not stable • (from impulsive to Gaussian) • - Better estimators give better SER N = 256, A = 0.1, T = 0.001 Performance: SER against SNR of the algorithm after iterating Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  19. Expected behavior2 state approximation AWGN, σ20 out in AWGN, σ21 good bad In the low SNR region the noise can be detected In the middle region: A dominates the Pe, i.e. an error floor In the High SNR region noise is amplified by a factor of 1/AT Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  20. coded behavior Gain 200 m ! At 100 dB/Km Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  21. Expected uncoded behavior good => <=bad Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  22. Vijay Wake-up! Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  23. Another approach Transmit messages as:  sequences (code words) of length M where all M symbols are different minimum distance (# of differences) Dp Example: M = 3 Dp = 2 Code: 123 312 231 132 321 213 f time Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  24. Frequency Hopping Codes: Effect of noise (simplified) Transmitted Background-insertion Background-deletion Impulsive-broadband narrowband-jammer frequency selective fading Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  25. Performance: conform • Permutation codewords: • M slots; M different symbols; • minimum distance Dp • Correct decoding if # error events ( impulse + narrow + background + fading ) < Dp • cardinality of the code Ian Blake Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  26. May be wireless has more future? 1991 ! Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  27. conclusion Powerline communication problem offers many boundaries • without boundaries, no challenges, no creativity - we need practical data from modulation and coding schemes We do not claim that our results are directly applicable, but expect that they contribute to the general understanding of PLC Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  32. Channel state T-:unknown at transmitter R+:known at receiver - Receiver knows the state and thus the i2 - Modulator uses constant input power S  Y|state is Gaussian distributed with variance S/2W+i2 Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  33. Channel state T+:known at transmitter R-:unknown at receiver • Sketch of lower bound: Capacity maximizes H(output) – H(Noise) • Choose input power per channel the same as for (T+,R+), i.e. • S1/w + 12 = S2/w + 22= S3/w +32 = S /2W + • this lower bounds H(output) • 2. H(Noise) maximized by using average variance as Gaussian noise Han Vinck Victoria, 2008

  34. Channel state T-:unknown at transmitter R-:unknown at receiver Capacity ≥ lower bound on H(output) – H(Noise) 1. constant input power S per channel 2.H(output) > H(output|state) 3.H(Noise) maximized by using average variance as Gaussian noise Han Vinck Victoria, 2008
