Abstract

Following up on our previous work, power line communications: An Overview - Part I, we discuss the standards involved in PLC technology and name the established standards. We then concentrate on the HomePlug standard in detail. Our prime focus is on these standards: HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug AV as these have become the basis for the world´s most widely deployed PLC systems. An overview of the HomePlug standards is presented which discusses the technology in the Physical and MAC layers. It also discusses the QoS issues and compares the performance of HomePlug AV with HomePlug 1.0.
