Abstract

Power line communication (PLC) has become an important network access technology to conveniently and effectively provide various useful services such as remote meter reading, broadband Internet access, and home networking services. As the deployment and use of PLC networks increase, it is essential that we need to be able to configure, monitor, and control the PLC network resources. In this paper, we present an overview of PLC network technology and describe a trial PLC network and its deployment in Korea. We then present the design and implementation of a network management system for PLC networks. The experience on the deployment and management of the trial PLC network is also presented.
