power line communication

Hi all,

I am a third year EE student who has to do a final year project. I am thinking of doing a project on the above topic. The idea is to use power line communication to control devices (home or factory appliances) and for data acquisition.

The problem is I have no previous knowledge on this regard. Can someone help point me in the right direction and tell me where to start.

Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Did you do a Google search

 

Microchip has an application note on X10 protocol (serial communication over power lines).
