Contention Window Based Parameter Selection to Improve Powerline MAC Efficiency for Large Number of Users

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Effective use of the power line bandwidth requires robust physical and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to mitigate the harsh conditions of the power line channel, as well as the capability to support prioritized multimedia traffic. Just as in 802.11, the throughput performance of this scheme becomes critical when the number of users increases, as in BPL. In this paper, a modification in the medium access control protocol of Home Plug 1.0 is proposed, to make it a constant contention window based scheme.
