The effects of these impulsive noise distributions on OFDM systems and power line communications have been largely investigated [13, 14].
For other communication systems, e.g., power line communications (PLC) [11, 12], the impulsive noise can be aroused by the frequent on/off cycle of many distributed contactors.
We consider a bit-interleaved coded wideband impulse-modulated system for power line communications.
This work aims to investigate the design and implementation of digital filters for separating clusters in a clustered-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing scheme for power line communication systems.
Ideally, disaster response requires affordable and portable communications which are independent of terrestrial systems or power lines and which can be set up within a few hours at any place (Wood 1996; Qiantori et al. 2010; Sutiono et al. 2010).
In simulation, the short-circuit capacity of power system at the connection point is set as 1800 MVA, the rated voltage of the power system between power lines is 220 kV, and power system frequency is 50 Hz.
Robust detection algorithms capable of mitigating the effects of colored noise are of primary interest in communication systems operating on power line channels.
They will arrive in three basic flavors: wireless, phone-line systems and power-line systems.
Fully stormproofing the system — sinking power lines, elevating substations and otherwise hardening equipment against damage from torrential winds and widespread flooding — could easily cost 100 times as much.
Furthermore, thousands of homes and much of the public infrastructure – such as the water supply, sewer and drainage systems, power and telephone lines – have been damaged.
