  • MIMO architecture for multi-user power line communication
    Patent number: 10879959
    Abstract: Power line communication (PLC) has significant benefits and advantages in comparison to wireless communication. By exploiting the power line infrastructure, PLC signals can cover a larger area and provide high speed data service without installation of new infrastructure, especially in remote rural areas where Ethernet is not available. A MIMO-based (multiple-input-multiple-output-based) power line communication structure (MU-MIMO-PLC) is described herein and exploits power line infrastructure to achieve MIMO communication and/or high data service. MU-MIMO-PLC exploits the spatiality of power line infrastructure and the multipath property of power line channel. MU-MIMO-PLC leverages these properties to achieve high data rates with MIMO technology.
