Power line communication channel modeling for in-vehicle applications

This paper addresses the problem of generating an accurate power line communication channel model for in-vehicle applications. The proposed modeling methodology is based on a state-of-the-art behavioral representation based on the multipath propagation of signals in a possibly complicated interconnected power structure. The procedure for the computation of model parameters is thoroughly discussed. The effectiveness of the approach has been demonstrated on a set of real measurements carried out on a commercial automobile.
