Field Performance Comparison of IEEE 802.11b and HomePlug 1.0
نویسندگان
چکیده
The HomePlug 1.0 standard allows high-speed communication on low-voltage power lines without a requirement for new wires. Effective use of the power line bandwidth requires a robust medium access control (MAC) protocol to mitigate the harsh conditions of the power line channel as well as the capability to support prioritized multimedia traffic. This paper briefly describes the HomePlug 1.0 MAC and PHY protocols, which allow prioritized channel access. It then presents field test results comparing this with the more familiar IEEE 802.11b protocol.

HomePlug 1.0 powerline communication LANs - protocol description and performance results
Products implementing the HomePlug 1.0 standard allowing high-speed communication on low-voltage powerlines have recently started arriving on the U.S. market for home and office networking without the requirement for installing new wires. Effective use of the powerline bandwidth requires robust physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) protocols to mitigate the harsh conditions of the powe...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of IEEE 802.11e EDCA and 802.11b DCF Under Non- Saturation Condition using Network Simulator
In this study, throughput and delay performance of IEEE 802.11b and 802.11e is presented under non-saturation conditions. In order to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11b, the IEEE 802.11e has been proposed to improve the Quality of Services (QoS) for multimedia application. The standard 802.11b CSMA/CA contention mechanism does not support QoS but the standard 802.11e provides QoS by adjust...
متن کاملOn Efficiency and Validity of Previous Homeplug MAC Performance Analysis
The Medium Access Control protocol of Power Line Communication networks (defined in Homeplug and IEEE 1901 standards) has received relatively modest attention from the research community. As a consequence, there is only one analytic model that complies with the standardised MAC procedures. We identify two important limitations of the existing analytic model: high computational expense and predi...
متن کاملEnhanced Protection Mechanism for Wireless LAN to Reduce Protocol Overhead
The Wireless LANs (WLAN) have become more popular and commonly used these days. WLAN links many devices using some wireless methods like OFDM, Spread Spectrum etc. There are several IEEE Standards exists for Wireless LAN, among them IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g are most popular types of IEEE 802.11. These two standards are “Wi-Fi” certified and operate at 2.4GHz band. The 802.11g supports high...

IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11b/g work in the same 2.4GHz industrial scientific and medical band, their coexistence is crucial to ensure both of them work efficiently under the interference of each other. In this paper we investigated the above issue through extensive measurements in a systematic way. The experimental results show that (1) the performance of IEEE 802.11b/g also suffers from the ...
