Ultra-wideband power line communication as a backbone for wireless sensor networks
Objectives: To investigate (i) the limits of UWB PLC networks taking frontend and propagation effects into account; and (ii) UWB frontend design. Developing appropriate propagation models and validate them, by exemplary measurements, and perform initial performance analyses of UWB PLC backbone for WSN, compared to emerging fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) solutions.
