    Abstract: A device coupled to a noisy channel having periodic impulse noise in a network may estimate an effective signal to noise ratio (SNR) by receiving a packet of symbols. The device may determined a number of bad symbols N(bad) ratio in the packet due to interference and a remaining plurality of good symbols in the packet. An SNR value may be computed based on only the plurality of good symbols in the packet of symbols to form an SNR(good) value. An SNR correction value (SNR(offset)) may be determined as a function of the N(bad) ratio and the SNR(good) value. An effective SNR value may then be calculated by adjusting the SNR(good) value according to SNR(offset).

    Abstract: A band of interest is divided into band segments. A scan frame is sent by a transmitter at a transmitting PLC node across each band segment. A receiver at a receiving node scans the band segments, listening for the scan frame. Upon detecting a scan frame, the receiving node measures the signal quality of each OFDM subcarrier modulated with symbols from the scan frame. The subcarrier signal quality values are stored in a table. Upon completion of the scan process, the table contains a signal quality value for each subcarrier within the band of interest. The table is then analyzed to find an operating band consisting of subcarriers with a highest average signal quality or a band that results in greater than a pre-determined minimum signal quality. The invented methods and embodiments may operate periodically to readjust the operating band configuration in the presence of electromagnetic interference including time-variant interference.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for a cipher then segment approach in a Power Line Communication (PLC). A node or device generates frames to be transmitted to a destination node in the PLC network. A processor in the node is configured to generate a data payload comprising data to be sent to the destination node. The processor divides the data payload into two or more payload segments and encrypts the payload segments. The processor creates a frame for each of the encrypted payload segments, wherein each frame comprises a message integrity code. The processor creates a segment identifier for each frame using the message integrity code and an authentication key that is shared with the destination PLC node. The segment identifier is added to each frame.

    Abstract: A PLC network system and method operative with OFDM for generating MIMO frames with suitable preamble portions configured to provide backward compatibility with legacy PLC devices and facilitate different receiver tasks such as frame detection and symbol timing, channel estimation and automatic gain control (AGC), including robust preamble detection in the presence of impulsive noise and frequency-selective channels of the PLC network. A MIMO PLC transmitter device may selectively vary amounts of cyclic shift (CS) for different transmit phases based on whether an initial CS vector elicits an ACK signal back from a PLC receiver within a timeout period.
