However, electric grid wasnĄ¯t made for telecommunications purposes, causing several undesired effects such as: multipath behavior similar to wireless network without fast fading, electromagnetic interference, different sources of noise and change of channelĄ¯s response due to loads connected to the grid. This paper shows what kinds of variations of response exist and how this effects can be treated using a stochastic modification of ZimmermanĄ¯s model of PLT network. %K PLT %K PLC %K BPL %K Stochastic Channel Response %K Loads Effects %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.eee.20120206.06.html
