Random channel transfer function generation for broadband indoor MIMO PLC
Résumé
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques have only recently been considered for broadband power-line communications (PLC). Today, large-scale measurement results on MIMO power-line channel characteristics are available. Modeling the MIMO-PLC channel is as important as it is difficult due to the large variability of PLC networks. In previous work, we proposed a MIMO random channel generator for indoor broadband PLC systems based on a single-input single-output one presented in the literature. The proposed MIMO channel generator targets the European MIMO PLC field measurements. In this paper, further explanations on the proposed model as well as new results for the channel transfer function are provided.
