Title
An Impulsive Noise Resistant Physical Layer For Smart Grid Communications
Abstract
Integrating wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in power substations for the future smart grid is growing in interest. Nevertheless, high voltage (HV) substations are harsh environments. In particular, impulsive noise needs to be taken into account. To tackle the constraints of these environments, we propose in this paper an efficient wideband channel coding scheme. The proposed approach consists in a robust physical layer based on the integration of several very interesting error correcting codes with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Using real measurements of impulsive noise, the impact of rank metric (RC), Low Rank Parity Check codes (LRPC) and polar codes is evaluated in terms of BER and PER in a realistic multipath channel. The results show that using this coding scheme is very efficient in mitigating the bursty nature of impulsive noise while having a quite low level of complexity.
