Adaptive sub-band algorithm for point-to-point communication in PLC networks

摘要

Embodiments of methods for adaptive sub-band point-to-point communication are presented. In one embodiment a method includes performing functions using a power line communication (PLC) transmitter device. The method may include receiving a first data packet having a first adaptive sub-band information set, the first sub-band information set comprising information from a PLC transmitter. The method may also include extracting the first sub-band information set from the first data packet. Additionally, the method may include analyzing the first sub-band information set to determine a transmitter sub-band hopping pattern. The method may further include setting a corresponding receiver sub-band hopping pattern synchronized to the sub-band hopping patter used by the PLC transmitter and hopping to a subsequent sub-band as defined by the receiver sub-band hopping pattern.
