Abstract

Powerline communications (PLC) have become a viable local area network (LAN) solution for in-home networks. In order to achieve high bit rate over powerline, the current technology bandwidth is increased up to 100 MHz within the European project OMEGA. In this paper, an efficient bit-loading algorithm with peak BER constraint is proposed. This algorithm tries to maximize the overall data rate based on linear precoded discrete multitone (LP-DMT), which enables reliable high bit rate transmission. A fast computational algorithm with mean BER constraint is also proposed. Simulations are run over PLC channels and it is shown that peak BER constraint algorithm combined with linear precoding component gives better performance than mean BER constraint algorithm.
