Space Diversity in MIMO Power Line Channels with Independent Impulsive Noise
نویسنده
چکیده
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has been employed for wireless communications in order to increase the reliability and improve the performance. In this paper MIMO is employed for Power Line Communications (PLC) in an effort to investigate the space diversity gain in PLC systems. It is shown in this paper that in the presence of impulsive noise, a combination of space and time coding is required to guarantee an improvement in performance. Furthermore, the dependency of impulsive noise to the background noise is being investigated.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

متن کاملImpulsive Noise Cancellation for MIMO Power Line Communications
Power line channels are often badly corrupted by impulsive noise. In this paper, an impulsive noise cancellation method for MIMO power line communication is proposed. First, the received signal is transformed into frequency domain and MIMO detection is carried out. Then, the detected signal is transformed back to time domain and the noise estimation can be obtained by subtracting detected signa...

متن کاملCapacity and Diversity Gains of MIMO Systems in Correlated Rician Fading Channels
This paper investigates the effect of Rician fading and correlation on the capacity and diversity of MIMO channels. The use of antenna arrays at both sides of the wireless communication link (MIMO systems) can result in high channel capacity provided the propagation medium is rich scattering or Rayleigh fading and the antenna arrays at both sides are uncorrelated. However, the presence of line-...
