Abstract
Designing a system able to cope with a hostile channel is a typical challenge for data communication Engineers. High- data- rate communication over power lines is an exemplar case: while power lines are potentially convenient and in expensive “no new wire” medium for data transmission their features make it very difficult to design a simple modem. This paper illustrates main features of hostile channel, and some of the solution advocated for modem design.
