ADAPTIVE FILTERS IN VEHICLE POWER LINE COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17747617 titled 'ADAPTIVE FILTERS IN VEHICLE POWER LINE COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a power line communication (PLC) system in a vehicle that uses power lines to connect and communicate between different nodes, which can be controllers or sensors. The system includes adaptive filters that can dynamically change the frequency range for communication over the power lines.
- The PLC system is designed for use in vehicles.
- It utilizes power lines to establish communication networks between nodes.
- Nodes can be controllers or sensors.
- The system includes one or more adaptive filters.
- Adaptive filters can change the frequency range for communication over power lines.
- The frequency range can be dynamically adjusted.
- This allows for flexible and efficient communication within the vehicle.
Potential Applications
- Vehicle communication systems
- Intelligent transportation systems
- Automotive diagnostics and monitoring
- Vehicle control and automation
Problems Solved
- Limited communication options in vehicles
- Interference and noise on power lines
- Inefficient communication over power lines
Benefits
- Utilizes existing power lines for communication, reducing the need for additional wiring.
- Enables flexible and adaptable communication within the vehicle.
- Improves efficiency and reliability of communication systems in vehicles.
- Facilitates integration of various controllers and sensors in the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power line communication (PLC) system in a vehicle includes one or more networks with one or more sub-networks of nodes interconnected by power lines that deliver direct current (DC) to the nodes. Each of the nodes is a controller or a sensor. The PLC system also includes one or more adaptive filters. Each of the one or more adaptive filters is coupled to a port of one of the nodes and dynamically changes a frequency range within which communication from and to the port of the one of the nodes over the power lines is possible.
