Raptor code-enabled reliable data transmission for in-vehicle power line communication systems with impulsive noise

With the rapid development of in-vehicle data transmission systems, the power line communication (PLC) technology is considered as a good alternative due to the reduction of cable harness. However, PLC suffers from severe impulse noise which hinders the correct reception of data packets and hence leads to a poor transmission performance. In this paper, we propose a raptor code-enabled data transmission scheme for different traffic classes in in-vehicle PLC systems. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is suitable for in-vehicle data transmission and can provide good protection against the impulsive noise while a considerable reception overhead is needed.
