[2] The IEEE 1901 Standard, established in 2010, set the first worldwide benchmark for powerline communication tailored for multimedia home networks, audio-video, and the smart grid.
This standard underwent an amendment in IEEE 1901a-2019, introducing improvements to the HD-PLC physical layer (wavelet) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The IEEE 1901 Standard was a significant step in the development of powerline communication (PLC) technologies.
The development and evolution of the IEEE 1901 standard underscores the importance of powerline communication in modern networking scenarios.
As the IoT continues to grow, with billions of devices getting connected, having a robust and versatile communication medium like PLC can be invaluable, especially in environments where traditional networking methods might be challenging.
The FFT PHY includes a forward error correction (FEC) scheme based on convolutional turbo code (CTC).
ISP enables various BPL devices and systems to share communication resources (frequency/time) when installed in a network with common electrical wiring.
[17] An amendment in 2019, IEEE 1901a-2019, defines a more flexible way of separating wavelet OFDM channels for Internet of Things applications.
[20] Another trade group called the HomeGrid Forum was formed in 2008 to promote the ITU-T home networking standards known as G.hn.
Recommendation ITU-T G.9972 approved in June 2010, specifies a coexistence mechanism for home networking transceivers capable of operating over powerline wiring.
