Abstract:
Power line communication is an emerging communication technology for the home area network of Smart Grid. To evaluate the performance of power line communication, in our previous work, we derived the closed-form probability density function for the real part of amplitude distribution of Nakagami-like background noise. With this result, in this paper, we investigated the bit error rate performance of binary modulated signal with a single channel transmission. We derived an expression of bit error rate performance and verified its validity through simulations.
