Abstract

Three functional blocks of the PRIME and PLC G3 technologies (encoder/decoder, interleaver, and modulator) are studied in detail, for a PLC channel with narrow-band interference (NBI). The study reveals that these three blocks can be used together effectively so as to improve the performance of the overall system in the presence of NBI. We therefore present effective methods for combating NBI in PRIME and PLC G3, based on these three functional blocks.
