Abstract
Communication over existing electrical wiring has attracted many researchers as the last mile solution due to its reduced cost of installation. To make this medium as a feasible alternative to other communication medium, it is important to evaluate the performance of indoor electrical wiring. In this paper, an attempt is made to analyze and compare the various types of power line channel modeling techniques. The importance of modeling the cable parameters is also discussed. A sample residential power line network is considered and the channel frequency response and the channel capacity are compared for the various channel modeling techniques.
