Abstract

Power line communication (PLC) medium is a very hostile environment, this is due to the fact that severe impairments adhering this means of communication, which cannot be described as a Gaussian noise. In this paper, we propose a powerful scheme to combat the impulsive noise effect and efficiently increase the transmission bit rate. The proposed technique makes use of a new hybrid coding (HC) process and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), namely, HC-MIMO-OFDM. The HC is mainly constructed based on the combination of convolutional codes (CC) and quasi cyclic-low density parity check codes (QC-LDPC). The HC-MIMO-OFDM stage is then followed by an orthogonal space time block code to provide more robustness under a heavy impulsive noise environment. Furthermore, the symmetric $$\alpha $$ α -stable model is applied to characterize the realistic PLC noise and consequently avoid the overestimation of the overall performance in such communication systems. The obtained results showed the increase improvement in performance of the bit-error-rate with the raise of the bit rate, when going from single input single output to MIMO. In addition, it has been illustrated that there was a gain when the MIMO was supplemented with only the CC and an additional gain when the HC is considered (i.e., combination of CC plus QC-LDPC coding).
