摘要： The present invention refers to a method for defining useable frequency bands for a powerline communication (PLC) system (101) using power supply lines of a power supply network (104a) for interconnecting a number of PLC nodes (302, 306) such that electromagnetic emissions generated by PLC signals (s(t)) transmitted via said power supply lines do not interfere with broadcast RF signals radiated in the same frequency bands. Before starting own communication activities, PLC nodes (302, 306) participating in a PLC session scan (S1a) the entire frequency range designated for powerline communication to detect (S1b) frequency bands which are occupied by broadcast services. During powerline communication the occurrence of broadcast signals is regularly checked (S2) by screening (S2a) the entire frequency range designated for powerline communication and detecting (S2b) relevant broadcast bands that should be omitted during powerline communication to avoid interference noise (n(t)). After that, new frequency bands for powerline communication are allocated (S3) within said frequency range, provided that these new bands are not occupied by any detected wireless service.

摘要： A transmitting device, a receiving device, and a communication method are for transmitting and receiving data modulated on frequency subcarriers of an OFDM communication system. An OFDM burst includes a preamble part and payload data part, whereby the preamble includes a section of pilot symbols mapped onto every n-th frequency subcarrier and signaling data mapped onto the frequency subcarriers between the frequency subcarriers with the pilot symbols. A first channel estimation on the basis of the received pilot symbols is performed, the result of which is used to reconstruct the entire section of the received preamble as a training pattern for an accurate channel estimation, which is used for a channel equalization of the received payload part.
