Message Sequence Chart ConventionsOverview of HomePlug Green PHY - A Low Power, Legacy Interoperable, Highly Reliable PLC from HomePlug The following criteria are considered to be essential for any technology targeting smart energy, home control, home automation, etc., applications:Maintain high reliability/robustness (which includes range/coverage) despite reduced complexityCoexistence and interoperability with existing, deployed, and standardized technologiesScale to support for many low rate devices on a shared medium (which translates to high, bursted, bit rates) Provide greatly reduced power consumptionBe cost effectiveAddress time to market concerns (which includes availability from multiple suppliers)To address all of these criteria, the Home Plug Powerline Alliance has developed a new specification, “Green PHY”, which is a greatly simplified derivative of the existing, widely deployed, HomePlug AV technology.Basing the Green PHY upon HomePlug AV was a reasonable choice considering its field-proven characteristics, large and worldwide installed base, well established Compliance & Interoperability (C & I) program, and multi-vendor ecosystem. In effect, HomePlug AV jumpstarts the Green PHY. HomePlug AV employs three robust modes of communication, called ROBO Modes, for several purposes, including beaconing, data broadcast/multicast communication, session setup, and exchange of Management Messages. All ROBO Modes use QPSK modulation, along with a ? rate Turbo Convolutional Code. The Green PHY uses only these modes.Besides the robust nature of these modes, the further advantages of using only the ROBO modes for the Green PHY are as follows:minimum impact on HPAV throughputinteroperable with current HPAV and future IEEE P1901 solutions baselined on HPAV (the Green PHY will be certified by HomePlug as a profile of P1901)able to support multiple PHY Rates (3.8 Mbps, 4.9 Mbps, 9.8 Mbps)reuses the entire 2 – 30 MHz bandreduces complexity of PHY (e.g., FEC, AFE, DFE)enables low power modes via reduced duty cycle (i.e., “awake” time)Since a high speed bursted mode is used, an effective packet throughput (per device/application) of approximately 250 kbps can met by utilizing <7% of the beacon period. However, since the Green device is only “on” or “awake” for this short interval, the estimated average power consumption is approximately 7% that of HPAV. To extrapolate further, by exploiting the duty cycle, 10 kbps could be provided using <1% duty cycle which provides opportunity for very low power modes. Alternately, higher throughput rates can be supported using more of the beacon period (but with a consequent increase in power consumption).The advantages of reusing the entire 2 – 30 MHz band is that optimal performance can still be maintained (i.e., maximizing the number of potentially usable carriers) and tone masking and amplitude (TX power) maps for regulatory compliance and coexistence with HAM bands are still supported.But it is not only in the PHY where advantages are obtained. Since the MAC is also reused, not only can the Green PHY device receive HPAV beacons, it can also transmit HPAV beacons. This means that a single, standalone Green PHY device can be a member of an AV network and can be the CCo in the AV network.However, in order to reduce MAC complexity, a Green PHY device is only required to be a CCo in support of CSMA/CA only. In HPAV terms, the Green PHY device only needs to be a Level-0 CCo. This means that connection oriented communication cannot be controlled by a Green PHY devices, although it can participate in an AV network that permits connection oriented communications between HPAV devices.A further simplification for the MAC occurs directly from the PHY simplification. Exclusive use of the ROBO modulation modes implies that there is no need to manage/maintain tone maps.Despite simplification of the MAC, reuse of the multiple priority level QoS mode and Priority Resolution mechanism allows for straightforward low latency support of Demand Response / Load parisons between HomePlug GREEN PHY and HomePlug AV PHY [Informative]The material in this section informatively compares the HomePlug AV specification to the HomePlug GREEN PHY specification. However, it is essential to note that GREEN PHY is based upon HomePlug AV and is designed to be interoperable with HomePlug AV. Any items not specifically identified as being optional for GREEN PHY must be assumed to be requirements for both GREEN PHY and HomePlug AV. Differences between HomePlug GREEN PHY and HomePlug AV PHY [Informative]The material in this section points to the sections of this specification that modify (i.e., reduce or relax in functionality) HomePlug AV. Brief descriptions are included. However, this section must be considered as informational only and therefore used only as a quick reference for the reader.Table STYLEREF 1 \s 13: Differences between HomePlug GREEN PHY and HomePlug AV PHYChapter3PHYDescription of change3.1 OverviewGP overview; includes TX/RX block diagram3.2.1 PPDU FormatsGP PPDU payload formats are ROBO only3.2.3 Symbol TimingTable 3-2 (GIs for 417, 567, 3534 are not required)3.4Payload FEC ProcessingOnly rate ? is supported by GP, 16/21 is not supported by GP; ROBO Interleaver is required3.4.2 Turbo Convolutional Encoderrate 16/21 is not supportedFig 3-10b, puncturing is not supported3.4.2.2 Constituent Encoderspuncturing is not supported3.4.2.3 Puncturingpuncturing Is not supported (Tables 3-5, 3-6)3.4.3 Channel InterleaverTable 3-11 (only rate ? applies, rate 16/21 is not supported)3.5 MappingTable 3-14 (only QPSK is required, only FC and ROBO are applicable)Only ROBO tone maps are supported by GP3.5.2 Last Symbol PaddingTable 3-15 indicates that ROBO must obey/comply to the Tone Map/Tone Mask/Amplitude MASK; other modulations are not applicable to GP3.5.5 Mapping for BPSK, etc.Only QPSK applies (all other modulation schemes do not apply) Only QPSK appliesTable 3-17 only row for QPSKTable 3-18 only column for QPSKTable 3-19 not applicableTable 3-20 only row for QPSK3.7.3.2 Transmit Constellation ErrorTable 3-25, RMS Transmit Constellation Error Limit is -10 for GP PPDU3.8.1.1 Receiver Minimum Input VoltageRedefined, does not refer to rate 16/21, 1024-QAM3.8.1.2 Receiver Maximum Input VoltageRedefined, does not refer to rate 16/21, 1024-QAMDifferences between HomePlug GREEN PHY MAC (and above) and HomePlug AV MAC (and above) [Informative]The material in this section points to the sections in this specification that either modify (e.g., reduce or relax functionality) or extend the HomePlug AV specfication.
