Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a device for power line communication includes measuring noise on the power line and detecting noise timing properties. Further, a method for adapting power line communication to detected noise timing properties, which may be asynchronous to the AC mains signal, includes adapting parameters for encoding a data stream and/or transmission parameters according to the detected noise timing properties and/or transmission timing information derived from the detected noise timing properties, encoding a data stream according to the adapted parameters for encoding, and transmitting the encoded data stream to the power line on at least one power line communications channel according to the adapted transmission parameters.
