Abstract
This paper studies the error performance of power line communication (PLC) systems, in the presence of background noise with Nakagami-m distributed envelope and uniformly distributed phase. In this sense, we present closed-form expressions for the symbol error rate (SER) of PLC systems using binary pulse amplitude modulation and generalize the analysis to accommodate the M-ary pulse amplitude modulation. In addition, novel closed-form expressions for the SER upper bound of rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation PLC systems are derived. Interestingly, these expressions can be considered as tight SER approximations in the high–signal-to-noise ratio region and, thus, can efficiently evaluate the operational bound of a PLC system.
