چکیده

Power Line Communication (PLC) is predicted as a prospective solution for indoor and outdoor communications over power supplies. Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) uses a large bandwidth to provide high-speed Internet services to the end user. However, the channel exhibits high frequency selectivity and impulse noise, requesting modern signal processing methods. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) modulation and spreading techniques are known to mitigate these negative properties when combined with iterative receivers. This paper gives the full characterization of a Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) transceiver associating high-order modulations, OFDM, spreading, interleaving and channel decoding with an iterative process. Then, the simulation results will focus on the impulse noise palliation by means of symbol interleaving between spreading and OFDM modulation.

Iterative Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA/MC-CDMA Powerline Communications

The increasing ubiquity of the Internet is creating a rapidly growing demand for larger bandwidth to the home. Currently the narrowband twisted-pair access network from an optical network unit (ONU) or a central office (CO) to a customer’s premises, the socalled “last dirty mile”, is the bottleneck for Internet traffic. The increasing demand for a home/office network further necessitates a flex...

Blind Identification Channel Using Higher Order Cumulants with Application to Equalization for MC−CDMA System

In this paper we propose an algorithm based on higher order cumulants, for blind impulse response identification of frequency radio channels and downlink (MC−CDMA) system Equalization. In order to test its efficiency, we have compared with another algorithm proposed in the literature, for that we considered on theoretical channel as the Proakis’s ‘B’ channel and practical frequency selective fa...
