Abstract

The ubiquitous nature of the power line network presents broadband over powerline as the choice technology for this telecommunication generation. Its inherent challenges are a major drawback on its acceptability and deployment. Noise, attenuation and multipath are the major challenges of this system. In this paper, cooperative relaying was deployed to better the reliability of the system. The noise component was mitigatedbefore applying the cooperative protocols of amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF). This noise mitigation system improves the bit error rate performance of the system. The effect cooperative relayingon the performance of the broadband over powerline system was investigated. The performance metrics of the investigation are, channel capacity, symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability. The channel capacity of both cooperative links (AF & DF) yields enormous increase as compared to the direct link. A drastic reduction was achieved in symbol error rate while probability of outages was forced down on the links with cooperation, thus achieving the systems reliability. The DF cooperation protocol out performs the AF, while the noise mitigation system, brought the SER and outage probability of both protocols close. The relay located midway between the source and destination nodes renders the most improved performance. Hence, the cooperative relaying in broadband over powerline achieved some level of reliability.
