EMPoWER Hybrid Networks
Sébastien Henri, Christina Vlachou, Julia Herzen, Patrick Thiran · 2016
Several technologies, such as WiFi, Ethernet and power-line communications (PLC), can be used to build residential and enterprise networks. These technologies often co-exist; most networks use WiFi, and buildings are readily equipped with electrical wires that can offer a capacity up to 1 Gbps with PLC. Yet, current networks do not exploit this rich diversity and often operate far below the available capacity.
