Abstract

Power Line channels present a very harsh environment for high speed data transfer which degrades the data transmission. Using proper channel coding can enhance the data transmission over PLC systems. The purpose of using channel coding is to encode the information transmitted over communication channel in such a way that in presence of other interferences and noise, the error can be detected and possibly corrected. This paper investigates the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of PLC systems based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), in presence of Middleton class A noise, and applying Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) / Rectangular Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) TCM as a channel coding. Simulations are undertaken in Matlab 2013b. The obtained results illustrates that although trellis codes produce improvements in the SNR in presence of Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), they do not perform well with multipath power line channel and Middleton class A noise. Therefore the Rectangular QAM TCM has been used to enhance the results.
