Summary

We present an experimental study on the end-to-end capacity of PLC links. We discuss the variability of PLC capacity over space, frequency, and time by using a testbed on a realistic enterprise environment. These measurements are used for characterizing end-user performance, for establishing practical link-metric guidelines, and for facilitating future deployment of hybrid networks that comprise PLC technologies. We present link-metric guidelines that use metrics proposed by IEEE 1905.1 standard.
