VoIP Using Power Line Communications

This study is conducted after perceiving the lack of gathered information and relatively new research and development on the usage of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) through an existing infrastructure of electrical wires known as VoIP using Power Line Communications (PLCs). The primary purpose of the PLC is the delivery of AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) or DC electric power. PLCs system operate the largest existing network in the world, which is the electrical distribution grid and therefore can establish communication networks for data transmission. Five experimental studies are implemented on Home Area Network (HAN) to test the efficiency of the proposed system and a comprehensive presentation dealing with the different aspects of VoIP over power lines are discussed.
