A Definition of Coexistence
o Different PLC systems must be able to operate simultaneously on a common electrical medium without degradation in performance except for the reduction in bandwidth due to fair sharing of the medium.

Summary of Collision Experiment
Physical layer speed deteriorates significantly upon collision
– Demonstrates that coexistence is indispensable
Less deterioration if frequency bands separated– Effectiveness of frequency band division is
confirmed– Time division is expected to be effective as well

Collision Avoidance Method Between Different Systems
FDM/TDM hybrid
In-home systems use all bands if there is no Access system
In-home systems coexist with FDM, opening frequency band if there is Access system
– Assures independency of Access system

CEPCA Solution
Summary
Collision avoidance mechanism of TDM/FDM hybrid
Wide-range coexistence is realized with the combination of flexible TDM which doesn’t need filter and frequency-occupying FDM
Fine TDM with “D-slot”– QoS is handled flexibly with parallel use of fixed slot and
variable slot– Band-assured fixed slot (S-Slot) with priority
Programmable FDM– Area differences and future legislation are flexibly handled.
Common coexistence signal among different systems (CDCF)
– Uses same band with PLC modem
– Realizes coverage equivalent to or above the modem and part-sharing
