A New Statistical Model of the Noise Power Density Spectrum for Powerline Communication

In this paper a model for the disturbances on power line channels is represented. The model is based on extensive long-term measurements in office and home environments. The parameters of the model are based on random variables with space-dependent statistical distributions. A substantial advantage of this concept is its simple adaptation to new types of environment. This adaptation can be realized with only a few additional measurements and, in this connection, with a reconfiguration of the model parameters. This opens a simple possibility to calculate the system capacities of the new environment. The small number of necessary model parameters predestined this model for simulations.
