Abstract
Description
This paper describes networking concept using
powerline networks from end users to primary
substation to support voice and data
communications. Different MAC protocols
which are contention and contentionless based
such as CSMA/CD, Aloha systems, CDMA,
TDMA and FDMA are analysed to identify
which protocol is appropriate for data
communication from data switches to Bridging
routers at distribution transformers. Token bus is
used to collect IP packets to primary router.
Expected traffic load, Queueing delay and
throughput are used to determine the required
MAC protocol to support VoIP over powerline
network.
