A first communication apparatus 100 transmits a pilot signal which was generated by a pilot signal generation section 14, at predetermined timing, and detects an unbalance component of a transmission line 300 at the time of pilot signal transmission in an unbalance component detection section 13, and controls a transmission signal in such a manner that an unbalance component is reduced by a transmission control section 12 on the basis of the detected unbalance component.

A multicarrier communication method selects carriers on the basis of an SN-ratio and the balancing of a transmission line. Available carriers are selected in accordance with the balancing of the balanced transmission line, in which the balancing is measured at either a sending terminal or a receiving terminal or alternatively at both, and the SN-ratio is measured between the sending terminal and the receiving terminal. Additionally, a modulation method having the greatest permissible multivalue is selected for each of the carriers, wherein the carriers are selected in light of the SN-ratio and balancing, or alternatively in a highest-to-lowest order of frequency. Transmission power is controlled for each of the carriers to suppress radiated emission, and the SN-ratio and balancing are measured at predetermined time intervals to renew the selection of the carriers and the selection of the modulation methods.
摘要:
In a multicarrier communication using a balanced transmission line such as a power line, a multicarrier communication method operable to select carriers on the basis of an SN-ratio and balancing of the transmission line is provided. Available carriers are selected in accordance with the balancing of the balanced transmission line, in which the balancing is measured at either a sending terminal or a receiving terminal or alternatively at both of them, and the SN-ratio measured between the sending terminal and the receiving terminal. More specifically, any frequency domain having poor balancing and a poor SN-ratio is treated as a non-carrier-employing domain, and consequently the available carriers are selected at other frequency domains. In addition, a modulation method having the greatest permissible multivalue is selected for each of the carriers. The carriers are selected in light of the SN-ratio and balancing, or alternatively in highest-to-lowest order of frequency. Transmission power is controlled for each of the carriers to suppress radiated emission. The SN-ratio and balancing are measured at predetermined time intervals to renew the selection of the carriers and the selection of the modulation methods.
摘要:
A communication network system sets communication parameters which enable an operation under a maximum possible communication rate in a situation where a transmission path has cyclic noise/impedance fluctuations. A transmission/reception apparatus 100 transmits training packets for checking the state of the power line at two distinct points in time. A transmission/reception apparatus analyzes SNR at each carrier frequency, and stores an SNR evaluation result. The transmission/reception apparatus compares two SNR evaluation results which are obtained through two instances of a channel estimation algorithm, selects an SNR evaluation result which dictates a faster PHY rate, and transmits it to the transmission/reception apparatus. The transmission/reception apparatus changes modulation/demodulation rules based on the received SNR analytical result.

摘要:
There is provided a communication network system which can set communication parameters which enable an operation under a maximum possible communication rate in a situation where a transmission path has cyclic noise/impedance fluctuations, without being influenced by such local noise/impedance fluctuations. A transmission/reception apparatus 100 transmits training packets for checking the state of the power line at two distinct points in time. Each time a training packet is received, a transmission/reception apparatus 101 analyzes SNR at each carrier frequency, and stores an SNR evaluation result. The transmission/reception apparatus 101 compares two SNR evaluation results which are obtained through two instances of a channel estimation algorithm, selects an SNR evaluation result which dictates a faster PHY rate, and transmits it to the transmission/reception apparatus 100. The transmission/reception apparatus 100 changes modulation/demodulation rules based on the received SNR analytical result.
