Abstract

Signals from indoor access points in a wireless fidelity suffer from high attenuation as a result of the thick walls and metal structures in the multilevel-storey buildings where they are deployed. This is due to the scattering of the retransmitted signals by the thick walls and metal structures. Power line communication (PLC) technology is considered as a solution to overcoming this challenge. In this paper, a combination of the RF and PLC technologies is proposed for achieving signal transmission in indoor environments taking into account the presence characteristic of multilevel-storey buildings. Diversity Combining techniques, namely, selection combining (SC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) are exploited to recover the retransmitted message, then the outage probability for both the SC and the MRC are proposed. Furthermore, we analyze the hybrid system estimated implementation cost.

PLC-RF分集：信道中断分析

摘要

无线保真室内接入点的信号由于部署它们的多层建筑中的厚壁和金属结构而遭受高衰减。这是由于厚壁和金属结构对重发信号的散射所致。电力线通信（PLC）技术被认为是克服这一挑战的解决方案。在本文中，考虑到多层建筑物的存在特性，提出了将RF和PLC技术相结合以在室内环境中实现信号传输的建议。利用分集组合技术，即选择组合（SC）和最大比率组合（MRC）来恢复重传的消息，然后提出了SC和MRC的中断概率。此外，
