Evans (UT-Austin) Energy-Efficient Signal Processing Techniques For Smart Grid Heterogeneous Communication Networks • State of Art: Smart grid communications via narrowband PLC and wireless is interference limited. Prior studies on interference mitigation and PLC/wireless diversity do not fully exploit statistics of impulsive noise in PLC. • Objectives: • Enhance communication performance and reduce power consumption of smart grid communications systems. • Novelty: • Narrowband-PLC/Wireless diversity • Time-frequency diversity modulation to combat impulsive noise in narrowband-PLC • Accomplishments: • Proposed maximum ratio combining that takes into account the impulsive noise variations • Proposed time-frequency modulation diversity at transmitter and a diversity demodulator at receiver to improve reliability without decreasing data rates • Important Publications: • M. Sayed and N. Al-Dhahir, “Narrowband-PLC/Wireless Diversity for Smart Grid Communications,” IEEE Globecom, 2014. • J. Lin, T. Pande, I. H. Kim, A. Batra and B. L.
