摘要

A method for transmitting signals over a power line network is presented, wherein within said power line network at least one transmitter and at least one receiver communicate via at least two channels, each of said channels having a respective feeding port of said at least one transmitter and the respective receiving port of said at least one transmitter and said transmitter having at least two feeding ports, said method comprising: determining a channel characteristic of each of said channels; applying a feeding port selection criterion based on said channel characteristic; and selecting and excluded feeding port among said at least two feeding ports based on said feeding port selection criterion, wherein said excluded feeding port is not used during further communication.
