Field techniques to overcome aggressive noise situations in PLC networks

Power Line Communications (PLC) technologies and systems use state-of-the-art technical solutions to provide communication means for Smart Grid applications. PRIME is one of those systems, with a comprehensive Physical and Media Access Control (MAC) Layer specification for CENELEC A-band, used today in Smart Metering deployments.
