BALBUENA-CAMPUZANO, Carlos Alberto  and  GARCIA-UGALDE, Francisco Javier. Performance of an Error Control System with Turbo Codes in Powerline Communications. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.3, pp.363-376. ISSN 2594-0732.

This paper reports the performance of turbo codes as an error control technique in PLC (Powerline Communications) data transmissions. For this system, computer simulations are used for modeling data networks based on the model classified in technical literature as indoor, and uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) as a modulation technique. Taking into account the channel, modulation and turbo codes, we propose a methodology to minimize the bit error rate (BER), as a function of the average received signal noise ratio (SNR).

Keywords : powerline communication; orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; turbo codes; interleavers.
