본 논문은 전력선 통신 시스템에서 에너지 효율을 최적화하기 위해 송신 전력 및 부 채널 할당을 최적화하는 에너지 효율적인 자원 할당 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 특히 수신기에 최대의 신호 전력을 전달하기 위해서 기존의 연구와 다르게 주파수에 따라 변하는 전력선 채널의 특성을 시스템 모델에서 고려하였다. 또한, 에너지 효율 함수를 최대화 할 때 송신기의 최대 신호전력 한계 및 최소 데이터 전송률 만족 등 현실적인 제한조건들을 고려하여 전송 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비선형 분수 프로그래밍과 라그랑지 이중 기법을 이용하여 최적값을 산출하였고 시뮬레이션을 통해 베이스라인 기법 대비 제안한 알고리즘의 에너지 효율 성능의 우수성을 확인하였다.

Unprecedented attention is being given to Smart Grid, Micro Grid and Internet of Things (IoT) in the Republic of Korea recently but such systems' effect is not well experienced by the market since they require additional and costly reforms for the existing household electrical system where adaptive communication platforms are needed. As such platforms, both wireless and wire communication technologies are being considered at the moment. Usually, they include WiFi, Zigbee technologies and the latter, LAN technology. However, communication speed decline due to signal attenuation and interference during wireless communications are considered to be the major problem and the extra works involving time and costs for the LAN system construction can be another demerit. Therefore, in this paper, we have introduced a Power Line Communication-based Smart Outlet System Expandable at Home to complement these disadvantages. Proposed IoT system involves Power Line Communication (PLC) technology which is essential to constructing a Smart Grid.

This study analyzes the performance of power-line communications for sending open automated demand response (OpenADR) signals. In particular, we study main channel disturbances that can affect end-to-end communications and which have not been previously studied in detail. Our analysis takes into account physical phenomena, such as background and impulsive noise sources, channel attenuation, and multipath effects, and considers the physical, network, and applications layers of the communications structure. The performance of the physical layer is the basis for computing the packet error rate. In analyzing application performance, we focus specifically on the latency in several communication environments. If a channel is impaired only by background noise, latencies are less than 40 seconds. With the addition of impulsive noise in the channel, this value increases as long as 68 seconds. Using these figures, we find that power-line technology is more suitable for "slow" demand programs, such as day-ahead or day-of curtailments, rather than ancillary services markets, which require near-real-time communication.

The communications through the power lines are called as the PLC and this is a common name for the communication modes for the information delivery. This technology transmits the data through the power lines on which the information is stored with the form of high frequency signal. The characteristic of the frequency signal is that the signal can be separated from the power line through exclusive power line modem and transmitted to the terminal devices. In this paper, 'In-home Headcount' checking algorithm using Wi-Fi and taking above mentioned advantages is proposed, and the basic Technology for such Solitary Senior Citizen's Lonely Death monitoring system has been designed and implemented. The comparative analysis has been conducted in this paper with the test-operated and test bed-completed 'Hyosimi 119 Safety-Welfare System' which is still being tested since 2008. With the 'In-home Headcount Checking Algorithm', Wi-Fi connection/disconnection status and SSIDs of relevant Wi-Fis will be checked. We expect that our proposed method will become as the basic Technology which can prevent lonely deaths of elderly people living alone. Since the PLC technology can be normally implement all the functions used on internet anticipate that the technology could be applied to many areas to construct a new form of communication network.

The implementation of a hybrid network utilizing Power Line Communication (PLC) and Wi-Fi technologies has been demonstrated to improve signal strength and coverage in areas with poor connectivity due to internet shadow areas. In this study we strategically positioned Wi-Fi relays and utilized the capabilities of PLC technology to significantly improve signal strength and coverage in areas with poor connectivity. We also analyzed the effects of metallic obstacles on Wi-Fi signal propagation and proposed a solution to strengthen the signal enough to pass through them. Our experiment demonstrated the feasibility and potential of using this hybrid network in industrial scenarios for real-time data transmission. Overall, the results suggest that the use of PLC and Wi-Fi hybrid networks can be a cost-effective and efficient solution for overcoming internet connectivity challenges and has the potential to provide high-speed internet access to areas with unreliable signals.

Power line communication (PLC) is one of the major communication technologies in smart grid since it combines good communication capability with easy and simple deployment. As a power network can be modeled as a graph, we propose a vertex coloring based slot reuse scheduling in the time division multiple access (TDMA) period for PLCs. Our objective is to minimize the number of assigned time slots, while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each station. Since the scheduling problem is NP-hard, we propose an efficient heuristic scheduling, which consists of repeated vertex coloring and slot reuse improvement algorithms. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the total number of time slots.

The existence of peroodic impulse noises in distribution line carrier (DLC) communication system is known to be the most serious obstacle for improving DLC communication quality in reliability and capacity. From the spectral points, impulse noises can be divided into baseband type and modulation type the noise width of whichs are much different each other. With each nose type, this study presents the basic characteristics in relation to what they originate from and how their spectrum properties are revealed. The baseband type impulse noise is normally caused from thyristor circuit running with low switching speed and the modulation type noise from the circuit of switching power supply. The base wave of modulation noise is shown to be the pulsuatic charging current to primary condenser in switching power circuit. The study result indicates also that placing the DLC carrier frequency away the band predominated by modulated noise especially from RCC type switching power circuit is very important in DLC design.

이 논문은 CRLH 전송선로의 이중대역 특성을 이용하여 비대칭 전력 분배기를 제안하였다. 이 분배기는 이중대역 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기, 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트의 연결 선로 그리고 ${\lambda}/4$ 변환기로 구성되어 있다. 이것의 동작은 이중대역의 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기를 이용하여 입력 신호를 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트에 연결할 때 서로 다른 길이의 전송선로를 연결함으로서 하이브리드 결합기의 두 출력 포트에서 동위상을 갖고 비대칭으로 출력되도록 하였다. 이것은 기존의 비대칭 윌킨슨 분배기의 단점을 보완한 것으로 시뮬레이션 결과가 0 dB ~ 20 dB 까지의 출력비를 나타내도록 설계하였다. 이와 같은 기능이 동작하는지 확인하기 위하여 880 MHz 와 1850 MHz에서 동작하는 이중대역 비대칭 전력분배기를 제작하여 각각의 주파수에서 3.2 dB ~ 8.8 dB, 2.5 dB ~ 14.0 dB까지 분배되는 것을 확인하였다.
