Phoneline Network Issues Random wiring topologies & signal
attenuation Home phoneline wiring system is a random
“tree” topology Simply plugging in the phone or
disconnecting the fax changes the tree This topology can cause signal attenuation
Signal noise Appliances, heaters, air conditioners,
consumer appliances & telephones can introduce signal noise onto the phone wires

Powerline Networking Ubiquity of power lines 10+ Mbps Technologies
X10 Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) HomePlug LonWorks
Intelligent Environments 18
X10 X10 controllers send signals over
existing AC wiring to receiver modules
X10 technology transmits binary data using the Amplitude Modulation (AM) technique
www.x10.com
Intelligent Environments 19
X10 To differentiate the data symbols, the
carrier uses the zero-voltage crossing point of the 60Hz AC sine wave on the cycle’s positive or negative transition
Synchronized receivers accept the carrier at each zero-crossing point
X10 uses two zero crossings to transmit a binary digit so as to reduce errors
Intelligent Environments 20
X10 Every bit requires a full 60 Hertz cycle
and thus the X10 transmission rate is limited to only 60 bps
Usually a complete X10 command consists of two packets with a 3 cycle gap between each packet Each packet contains two identical
messages of 11 bits (or 11 cycles) each A complete X-10 command consumes 47
cycles that yields a transmission time of about 0.8s
Intelligent Environments 21
Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) Open standard providing separate physical
layer specification for communication on power lines and other media Electronic Industries Association (EIA-600) www.cebus.org
