A Physical Layer Model for G3-PLC Networks Simulation Sanz, Alfredo Sancho, David Guemes, Cristian Cortés-Arrabal, José Antonio Comunicaciones This work presents a model of the G3-PLC physical (PHY) layer tailored for network simulations. It allows simulating frequency selective channels with non-stationary colored noise. Collisions with other frames are modeled taking into account the length and the power of the interfering frames. Frame errors are estimated using the effective signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio mapping (ESM) function. The proposed PHY layer has been integrated into a distributed event-based simulator developed by Microchip. The layer 2+ stack of the simulator uses the same code that actual Microchip G3-PLC devices. Validation has been accomplished by comparing its results to a test network deployed in the laboratory. The latter consists of a coordinator and one hundred meters distributed in 5 levels. Faster-than-real-time simulations and an excellent agreement between the simulated and the measured performance indicators at the application layer have been obtained. 2017-04-19T12:58:02Z 2017-04-19T12:58:02Z 2017-04-19T12:58:02Z 2017 conference output http://hdl.handle.net/10630/13466 http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3914-8921 eng 21st IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and its Applications Madrid (España) 03/04/2017 open access by-nc-nd IEEE
