Abstract:
Power line communication is a candidate for communication technology in electric vehicles and home area networks of smart grid. This paper derives the error rate performance of a QPSK-transmitted power line communication system. The Nakagami-m distribution is used as the closed-form background noise model, which was presented by a previous work. We have evaluated the symbol error rate of QPSK systems with both analytical values and computer simulations, and verified its validity through computer simulations.
