چکیده
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a suitable candidate for broadband power line communications (PLC). It has shown that the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of Single Carrier Transmission with Frequency Domain Equalization (SCT-FDE) is close to OFDM in broadband wireless systems. In this paper we investigate the BER performance of SCT employing time and frequency domain decision feedback equalization techniques in PLC. Our simulation results are compared with OFDM systems for different impulsive noise scenarios KeywordsI Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, Power line communication, Single carrier transmission, Time and frequency domain decision feedback equalization

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
متن کاملComparison of ConvOFDM and Wavelet–OFDM for Narrow–Band Power Line Communications
Systems for Power Line Communications (PLC) mostly apply multicarrier modulations in order to cope with the time dispersive nature of the power line transmission channel. In the emerging IEEE 1901.1 standard on broad–band communications via power line, two alternative techniques, conventional OFDM (convOFDM) and Wavelet–OFDM, are included. However, up to now, only convOFDM systems can be found ...

متن کاملClipping and Filtering Technique for reducing PAPR In OFDM
– Recently, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), as a multi-carrier, and a single carrier transmission systems are used widely in the communications industrial systems. Each one of these two techniques has their own advantages and disadvantages. To maintain a high data rate, OFDM is preferred over the single-carrier transmission system due to several shortages like, complexity of ...
