Measuring, Modeling and Enhancing Power-Line Communications

Christina Vlachou

Power-line communication (PLC) is a technology that has become very popular, as it offers easy and high-throughput connectivity in local networks. Although it is widely adopted in hybrid PLC/WiFi networks and commercially successful, PLC has received littl ...

EMPoWER Hybrid Networks: Exploiting Multiple Paths over Wireless and ElectRical Mediums

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou, Sébastien Christophe Henri

Several technologies, such as WiFi, Ethernet and power-line communications (PLC), can be used to build residential and enterprise networks. These technologies often co-exist; most networks use WiFi, and buildings are readily equipped with electrical wires ...

iPRP - the Parallel Redundancy Protocol for IP Networks: Protocol Design and Operation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Miroslav Popovic

Reliable packet delivery within stringent delay-constraints is of paramount importance to mission-critical computer applications with hard real-time constraints. Because retransmission and coding techniques counteract the delay requirements, reliability ma ...

Redundancy in Communication Networks for Smart Grids

Miroslav Popovic

Traditional electric power grids are currently undergoing fundamental changes: Representative examples are the increase in the penetration of volatile and decentralized renewable-energy sources and the emerging distributed energy-storage systems. These cha ...

Performance Analysis of MAC for Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

We investigate the IEEE 1901 MAC protocol, the dominant protocol for high data rate power-line communications. 1901 employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to – but much more complex than – the backoff mechanism of 802.11. Because of this extra complexity, and ...

Analyzing and Boosting the Performance of Power-Line Communication Networks

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are employed in home networking to provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. IEEE 1901, the MAC protocol for power-line networks, employs a CSMA/CA protocol similar to that of 802.11, but is substantially more complex, which ...

The MAC layer of the IEEE 1901 standard for power line communications employs a CSMA/CA method similar to, but more complex than, this of IEEE 802.11 for wireless communications. The differences between these protocols raise questions such as which one per ...
