High Speed Carrier PROJECT [Jan/2020 - Oct/2021]
Investigate on the applicability, interoperability and compliance testing of IEEE 1901.1 Power Line Carrier Standard.
Create a laboratory environment for the testing of IEEE1901.1 application scenarios, including a plug-in approach for testing of IEEE1901.1 compatible hardware (emission and reception hardware). The created environment will allow simulating communication using this standard under different load conditions and in different conductor lengths.
Create a simulation environment, using a discrete event communication networks simulator to test physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers characteristics of IEEE1901.1 and evaluate the protocol performance using parameters such as signal to noise ratios, error rates, and channel delays, allowing a direct comparison with other existing PLC protocols (e.g. PRIME).
