MAC Protocol Design for Vehicular Power Line Communication (VPLC) (2014-Now @UBC)

  • Motivation: In a car, the number of “intelligent” sensors, computers and electronic control unit (ECU), is continuously increasing. Increase the number of dedicated wires, cables, shielded cables. Weight, cost and reliability (connectors). Question: Why putting an additional cable between two ECUs for exchanging data since there are already connected to the DC power line.

  • Our solution: Use the DC PL as a physical support for the transmission. Thanks to the development of X-by-wire technique (replacing mechanical transmission by data transmission).
