Abstract

The Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 2.0 technology can establish a home network using existing in-home phone lines, which provides a channel rate of 4 - 32 Mbps. HomePNA 2.0 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol adopts an IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method, a Quality of Service (QoS) algorithm, and a Distributed Fair Priority Queuing (DFPQ) collision resolution algorithm. In this paper, we analyze the HomePNA 2.0 MAC protocol and propose the architecture of HomePNA 2.0 MAC controller circuit. Then, we present the simulation result of each block included in the HomePNA 2.0 MAC controller.
