10.1  Introduction*

The idea of using power lines also for communication purposes has already been around since the beginning of the last century [6,7]. It is now broadly referred to as power line communications (PLCs). The obvious advantage is the widespread availability of electrical infrastructure, so that theoretically, deployment ...
