Research on Deterministic Measurement Matrix of Power Line Carrier Compressed Sensing

To verify the advantages of deterministic matrix applied to power line carrier communication (PLCC) based on compressed sensing (CS). This article analyzed the research status of commonly used deterministic measurement matrices, and made simulation comparison. It is found that different types of deterministic measurement matrices generated based on chaotic mapping had higher reconstruction accuracy and higher reconstruction efficiency than Gaussian random matrix. Then, according to simulation results and the characteristics of PLCC signal, the Chebyshev sparse circulant (CSC) measurement matrix was designed by combining eighth-order Chebyshev chaotic and the idea of sparse and circulant. Actual circuit measurement shows that when compression rate was 40% and 60%, the reconstruction loss of CSC is 0.72dB and 0.49dB higher than that of Chebyshev chaotic measurement matrix and Chebyshev circulate measurement matrix, respectively. Obviously, the CSC measurement matrix designed in this paper can effectively improve the reconstruction accuracy.

Mixed-Carrier Communication for Technology Division Multiplexing

Recently, research on sixth-generation (6G) networks has gained significant interest. 6G is expected to enable a wide-range of applications that fifth-generation (5G) networks will not be able to serve reliably, such as tactile Internet. Additionally, 6G is expected to offer Terabits per second (Tbps) data rates, 10 times lower latency, and near 100% coverage, compared to 5G. Thus, 6G is expected to expand across all available spectrums including terahertz (THz) and optical frequency bands. In this manuscript, mixed-carrier communication (MCC) is investigated as a novel physical layer (PHY) design for 6G networks. The proposed MCC version in this study is based on visible light communication (VLC). MCC enables a unified transmission PHY design to connect devices with different complexities, simultaneously. The design trade-offs and the required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per individual modulation schemes embedded within MCC are investigated. The complexity analysis shows that a conventional optical OFDM receiver can capture the high-speed bit-stream embedded within MCC. For a forward error correction (FEC) bit-error-rate (BER) threshold of 3.8×10−3, MCC is optimized to maximize the spectral efficiency by embedding 2-beacon phase-shift keying (2-BnPSK) within an MCC envelope on top of 12 bits per beacon position modulation (BPM) symbol.

Impact of broadband power line communication on high frequency equipment using impact analysis

With the rapid development of broadband carrier communication technology, the power line communication market is growing. However, the frequency band of power line communication overlaps with other radio services, mainly the High Frequency (HF) radio services. In addition, power line communication may have electromagnetic leakage in the open air. Large-scale power line communication system will give a much greater interference to some critical HF radio services. In this paper, the standards and researches relative to the power line communication system are reviewed. Based on existing studies, impact analysis which includes the impact probability and severity of the power line communication system on HF equipment is proposed. In addition, explicit explanations are provided. The proposed impact analysis methods are applied to simulations and evaluations. Numerical results demonstrate that a large-scale power line communication system will cause additional ambient noise, which affects the performance and reliability of HF equipment with a high probability.

A Small-Area, Low-Power Delta-Sigma DAC Applied to a Power-Specific Chip

This paper introduces a small-area, low-power delta-sigma DAC that can support power line carrier communication. In order to achieve the oversampling ratio of 128, a three-stage cascaded half-band filter is utilized. An optimized sturdy MASH Δ Σ modulator was used to avoid instability caused by high-order shaping and reduce the area at the same time. The postanalog reconstruction includes a switched-capacitor DAC (SC DAC) and a 4-tap FIR/IIR hybrid filter, which not only meets the requirements of low power but also promotes the out-of-band SNR. The final chip is fabricated in a 55 nm CMOS process, occupies 0.08 mm2, and consumes 1.5 mW of analog power at 2.5 V supply. The simulation results show that the dynamic range is 85.7 dB, while the out-of-band SNR is 40.5 dB.
