In the literature, the majority of research efforts in power line communication (PLC) has been
focused on the physical layer in order to deal with issues such as the time varying behavior …

This paper studies the performance of a half-duplex (HD) two-way relay (TWR) in power line
communication (PLC) over a log-normal fading channel with impulsive noise. We consider …

Using modern graphics processing units for no-graphics high performance computing is
motivated by their enhanced programmability, attractive price/performance ratio and …

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been utilized widely in
wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to design systems that can be sustained by harvesting …

Many demand-response schemes fail because they inconvenience consumers or add
unnecessary costs. When participating in a typical demand-response scheme, a consumer …

Single-tone frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation with permutation codes has been found
to be useful in addressing the problem of narrowband noise disturbance in power line …

There is memory impulse noise in urban outdoor/indoor mobile channels, underwater
acoustic channels, powerline communications (PLC) channels, etc. The prior works about …

In this paper, we study the performance of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes and we
introduce an optimized version of these codes when applied on the short data blocks of a …

Peaks in electricity demand shape power system operations at various scales. In large
buildings, fees based on monthly demand peaks can comprise 30–70% of electricity bills. In …

Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA) is one of the key applications of the Smart Grid
(SG). Since Narrow-band Power Line Communications (NB-PLC) can offer a cost-effective …
