Abstract

Power line carrier communication (PLCC) is a communication technology used for transmitting information using power lines as the communication media. PLCC techniques have been used either by electrical utilities for control and monitoring of their distribution networks, or for simple home automation systems. With rapid growth in home networks, PLCC methods are a flexible way to implement low cost, reliable and widely accessible networks in the domestic environment. The major benefit of power line communication is the utilization of an existing infrastructure.
