Power line communications (PLCs) refer to a technology based on the existing electrical wiring to transmit data among the devices connected to the network. The PLC technology is an excellent solution widely studied and analysed by researchers, even in those areas characterized by strict requirements, such as industries. In this paper, a technique based on fuzzy logic, for the dynamic management of the amplitude of the signal emitted by the devices of a power line network, is proposed. The main aim is to manage the amplitude of the transmission signal in order to reduce the noise introduced into the network, and, as a consequence, the power consumption, increasing data transmission quality of network in terms of Quality of Service (QoS). This solution has been implemented into embedded systems based on the ADD1010, a power line System on Chip (SoC), and tested through a real scenario realized in laboratory.

Various kinds of household appliances have been widely deployed in the low-voltage grid. They inject conducted noise into the power line system, which may cause a detrimental effect on the Power-line Communications (PLC) channel. This paper examines a new measurement method of conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) on the PLC channel. The proposed method is to facilitate the noise characteristic research, which overcomes the potential difficulties when the measurement is performed according to CISPR 16-2-1. In particular, taking the hairdryer as an example, the conducted noises when the motor is deemed as the noise source are measured by employing the presented method. Moreover, this paper also analyzes the conducted noise of the hairdryer both in the time domain and in the frequency domain, and interprets the noise generating mechanisms with the working principle of the motor in detail. The central issue in all these studies is to research the conducted electromagnetic noise characteristics on the PLC channel.

Modern computer systems practically cannot function without a computer network. New concepts of data transmission are emerging, e.g., programmable networks. However, the development of computer networks entails the need for development in one more aspect, i.e., the quality of the data transmission through the network. The data transmission quality can be described using parameters, i.e., delay, bandwidth, packet loss ratio and jitter. On the basis of the obtained values, specialists are able to state how measured parameters impact on the overall quality of the provided service. Unfortunately, for a non-expert user, understanding of these parameters can be too complex. Hence, the problem of translation of the parameters describing the transmission quality appears understandable to the user. This article presents the concept of using Machine Learning (ML) to solve the above-mentioned problem, i.e., a dynamic classification of the measured parameters describing the transmission quality in a certain scale. Thanks to this approach, describing the quality will become less complex and more understandable for the user. To date, some studies have been conducted. Therefore, it was decided to use different approaches, i.e., fusion of a neural network (NN) and a genetic algorithm (GA). GA’s were choosen for the selection of weights replacing the classic gradient descent algorithm. For learning purposes, 100 samples were obtained, each of which was described by four features and the label, which describes the quality. In the reasearch carried out so far, single classifiers and ensemble learning have been used. The current result compared to the previous ones is better. A relatively high quality of the classification was obtained when we have used 10-fold stratified cross-validation, i.e., SEN = 95% (overall accuracy). The incorrect classification was 5/100, which is a better result compared to previous studies.
