Power Line Communication for Home Automation Applications
Hromádka, Michal ; Štohl, Radek (referee) ; Fiedler, Petr (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of a modem for a communication over residential power lines. First part is focused on the history, suitable frequency bands, modulation techniques and mainly on the selection of the optimal modem device. Second section contains the description of the hardware design of the modem itself and clarifies the implementation of the PLC module to be used as a communication interface for a full residential automation solution. Last chapters of this thesis introduce the communication protocol, design of the software for the ATmega32 MCU and present of the final field testing under real conditions.

PowerLine Communication for LED unit control
Šebesta, Ondřej ; Janáková, Ilona (referee) ; Honec, Peter (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the design and testing of a system for powerline communication, enabling control of LED lights. The work first describes the basic principles of powerline communication, specifies the communication bands and summarizes the basic functional requirements for communication within the system for LED lighting control. It also describes the method of selecting a modem for powerline communication, the design of a test module with this modem and also the method of testing real communication between two test modules, including test results. The most comprehensive part of the work describes the design of hardware and software of the universal PLC module and how to use it. In addition, it referes to the development tools used as an example of implementation in LED lighting. At the end of the work are summarized the results of testing the proposed system.

PLC system for Smart Metering
Bijotová, Kateřina ; Sláčik, Ján (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with PLC communication, presents pros and cons of this technology. The thesis describes several basic standards of the narrowband communication and broadband HomePlug AV2 standard. It groups the technology according to frequency band. Also, it brings summary of commercial products and development kits which are using PLC technology. The thesis contains the description of network testing to RFC 2544 recommendation and its application onto narrowband Linksys PLEK500 modems using NetBlazer tester which took place in laboratory of Brno University of Technology’s Department of Telecommunications. The same PLC modems are used in a second series of experimental measurements in home environment. This thesis also deals with comparison of narrowband PLC standards PRIME and G3 whilst exposed to different transmission conditions as defined by pre-established measurement scenarios. Said comparison was attained by measurements using Atmel’s multi-carrier PLC kit SAM4CP16C-EK. In the closing section of the thesis the results obtained by said measurements are consulted with conclusions provided by contemporary PLC-oriented publications.

Securing narrowband wireless communication in licensed band
Kolaja, David ; Brychta, Josef (referee) ; Fujdiak, Radek (advisor)
Contemporary demand for mobile devices and development of devices in the Internet of Things is constantly increasing. This reality also raises concerns about security and privacy of ongoing communication. This is no exception for expanding scale of Low Powered Wide Area Network (LPWAN) devices which communicate over Narrowband IoT and the customer of such devices who has to rely on security of provider’s network to secure customer’s data. This security is effective only in operator’s network while there is no end-to-end encryption enabled. Therefore, this thesis deals with the analysis of NB-IoT communication and its possible end-to-end security proposal, which also provides elements of post-quantum algorithms. Last but not least, this thesis deals with application of this proposal on constrained device and evaluation of its effectivness of time, energy and memory demands.

Intelligent system for remote data collection with PLC
Benešl, Lukáš ; Sláčik, Ján (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with PowerLine Communication (PLC), analyzes its advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Shows the frequency division according to the frequency range in which they work. The work includes a methodology of PLC communications testing according to Request For Comments (RFC) 1242 and RFC 2544 standards. Tests of the individual modems were measured in the household on a real network. All modems measured the same topology, and the results were appropriately processed in the form of well-arranged tables and charts. In conclusion, the individual conclusions from the measurements are always discussed. For the measurement of narrowband PLCs with multiple carriers on PRIME and G3 standards, the SAM4CP16C-EK development kit from Atmel was used. Narrowband modems, with single carrier, are represented by the PLC MT49R model manufactured by ModemTec. For broadband modems, the HomePlug AV2 standard was selected in comparison with HomePlug AV. Within the HomePlug AV2, the I2SE PLC Stamp 1200 micro EVK and Linksys PLEK500 development kit were used. For the lower standard of HomePlug AV, PLC was used by COMFAST.
