Abstract

A method for transmitting an adaptive multi-channel packet in power line communication system comprises the steps of: (a) transmitting a packet from a first node to a second node with a predetermined transmission speed through a power line by using a multi-channel in communication from the first node and the second node; (b) checking an error of the packet transmitted from the step (a) in the second node, thereafter loading the check result to the packet and transmitting it to the first node through the power line by using a multi-channel; (c) checking the result of the packet transmitted from the step (b) in the first node, and storing the check result as a database; (d) transmitting the packet to the second node with any one among the current, downgraded or upgraded transmission speeds through the power line according to the packet transmission success/failure information stored as the database in the step (c); and (e) transmitting the packet with a stable transmission speed according to the multi-channel by performing repeatedly the steps (b) to (d). Accordingly, the packet can be transmitted in an optimal speed suitable for the multi-channel environment, without requiring pre-communication for multi-channel adaptation among the nodes of the PLC system and a stable communication between the nodes connected to the power line can be performed.
