چکیده

Data communications on domestic low-voltage powerlines benefit from a ubiquitous and already existent infrastructure. Nevertheless, high-speed communications on this environment faces obstacles such as attenuation and noise. The HomePlug standard defines MACand PHY-layer protocols for home electrical wiring networks. Its MAC protocol has introduced the deferral counter (DC) mechanism, which adapts the contention of the nodes for the medium according to the network load. This article proposes the Contention window Pro-active Increase (CPI) mechanism to enhance the performance of HomePlug. The CPI mechanism is based on DC and improves the HomePlug efficiency by faster increasing the contention window size. As a consequence, there are fewer collisions and the aggregated throughput increases. Under high network load, our simulation results show a tradeoff concerning throughput and jitter. CPI improves HomePlug throughput by up to 3% with no jitter increase and by up to 15% at the cost of additional jitter.
