Abstract

A consortium of several companies is currently working on the so called PRIME Project, a system for communication in a powerline grid. The new technology intends to use CENELEC A band, where some communication systems are already operating. As OFDM is specified as transmission method for PRIME, existing devices using OFDM might be adapted easily to interoperate with PRIME. Here, a brief ldquohow-tordquo is presented and some problems concerning interoperability are addressed. At last, we state PRIME compatibility of iAd´s DLC-2B^reg device.
