METHOD AND APPARATUS THAT PROVIDES FAULT TOLERANCE FOR COMMUNICATION SIGNALS OVER POWER LINE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
摘要
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system for detecting a fault in a first wire of a power grid that affects a transmission or reception of electromagnetic waves that transport data and that propagate along a surface of the first wire, selecting a backup communication medium from one or more backup communication mediums according to one or more selection criteria, and redirecting the data to the backup communication medium to circumvent the fault. Other embodiments are disclosed.
