Título: Coding and Modulation for Narrowband PLC

Abstract: In this talk we discuss the main problems for narrowband power line communications (PLC). This includes impulse- and narrowband noise. Among several techniques to deal with it, we have noted that the effects of high attenuation can be mitigated by using repeaters. Then, we analyze a typical repeater structures for the PLC channel and their impact in the performance of PLC systems applied for narrowband applications.

Biografia

A. J. Han Vinck is a full professor in Digital Communications at the University of Essen, Essen, Germany, since 1990. He studied electrical engineering at the University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1980. His interest is in Information and Communication theory, Coding and Network aspects in digital communications.

Professor Vinck was the director (1997-1999) of the Post-Graduate School on Networking, “CINEMA”. From 2000-2004 he was the chairman for the communication division of the Institute for Critical Infrastructures, CRIS.

Professor Vinck served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society from1997 until 2006. In 2003 he was elected president of the IEEE Information theory Society.

IEEE elected him in 2006 as a fellow for his “Contributions to  Coding Techniques”. He started (Essen, 1997) the organization of the series of conferences on Power Line Communications and its Applications, ISPLC (the 14th ISPLC2010 held in Brazil). In 2006 he received the IEEE ISPLC2006 Achievement award in Orlando (FL, USA) for his contributions to Power Line Communications.
