OMEGA tutorial at WSPLC 09 in Udine

The Third Workshop on Power Line Communications (WSPLC 2009) was held at the University of Udine, Italy on 1-2 October 2009. The workshop attracted international delegates from both industry and academia. Seven technical sessions were organized covering several aspects of power line communications, including channel modelling, modulation and coding, signal processing, resource allocation and applications.

OMEGA contributed to the workshop via a tutorial. The OMEGA tutorial on “Advances Towards Gbps In-home PLC Networks” met great interest by the audience. The tutorial presented a comprehensive set of topics, including: OMEGA Vision and System, by O. Hoffmann, PLC State-of-the-Art and Standardization, by O. Isson, PLC Channel Characterization, Modelling and EMC Issues, by P. Pagani, PLC Physical Layer Advances, by A. Tonello, Home Plug AV MAC Fundamentals, by O. Isson, and MAC Mechanisms Multi User Approaches, by A. Maiga.

The amount of interaction and feedback during the tutorial clearly indicated the importance of the OMEGA project and the high interest among OMEGA’s target audiences in its results.
