- Noise found in Power Line communication (PLC) is impulsive (not white as in wireless, and has more devastating impacts on data), hence, there has been search for new equalizer that fits the non-Gaussian description of the noise. A non-linear optimum minimum-mean-square-error-equalizer (MMSE) and the soft-decoding values required for turbo-equalization were derived, for the first time, in this work. The effectiveness of the soft decoding turbo-equalizer to mitigate the negative effects of impulsive noise was demonstrated in results, which are comparable with that white noise. This is an outcome of international collaboration between MMU(UK) and Anritsu Corporation(Dr. Soltanpur; cinna.soltanpur@anritsu.com)
