Abstract

The giant information exchange enabled by the Internet of Things paradigm will likely exploit electrical lines as a ready-to-use infrastructure. The advantage of using the pre-installed infrastructure of wiring networks makes power line communication a competitive technology for broad-band communications. Therefore, there has been a growing interest towards the use of existing power line communication channels as an effective means for transmitting high speed data and Internet service. One of the main noise types affecting power line communication systems is the impulsive noise, and the focus of this work is on the impact of this impulsive noise on the performance of OFDM-QPSK systems. For the performance analysis of impulsive noise, data measured in three environments were used. Through the analysis, it is shown that OFDM-QPSK system outperforms QPSK system for most of the impulsive noise cases. Also, RS-coded OFDM-QPSK system can achieve good BER performance under 3 cases impulsive noise environment.

사물 인터넷 패러다임에 의해 가능해진 거대한 정보 교환은 즉시 사용 가능한 인프라로 전선을 이용할 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 사전에 설치된 배선 네트워크 인프라를 사용하는 이점은 전력선 통신을 광대역 통신을 위한 경쟁력있는 기술로 만들었다. 따라서 기존의 전력선 통신 채널을 고속 데이터 전송 및 인터넷 서비스를 위한 효과적인 수단으로 사용하는 것에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 전력선 통신 시스템에 영향을 미치는 주요 잡음의 유형 중 하나는 임펄스 잡음이며 본 논문은 임펄스 잡음이 OFDM-QPSK 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 임펄스 잡음의 성능 분석을 위하여 3가지 환경에서 측정된 데이터를 사용하였다. 분석을 통해 OFDM-QPSK 시스템이 대부분의 임펄스 잡음 사례에서 QPSK 시스템보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 RS 부호화된 OFDM-QPSK 시스템은 3 가지 경우의 임펄스 잡음 환경에서 우수한 BER 성능을 달성할 수 있었다.
