Title
TV White Space Regulated Broadband Power Line Communication for Point-to-Multipoint Downlink IoT Networks: A Standard Perspective
Abstract
Broadband power line communication (BPLC) and television white space (TVWS) are regarded as promising candidates for indoor broadband applications of the Internet of things (IoT). However, they share the access to the very high frequency (VHF) band, which could cause harmful interference and performance degradation to each other. In this paper, a TVWS regulated BPLC system is proposed for point-to-multipoint downlink communication, which integrates the requirement of primary user sensing and the permissible transmission power spectral density (PSD) for TVWS users into the BPLC standard, regarding VHF band access. This integration guarantees minimum interference level between TVWS and BPLC and allows higher transmission PSD for BPLC users in VHF, and hence higher capacity and coverage for BPLC.
