The Power Line communication can be used as backbone for IoT. This document is aimed at providing a project synopsis on Internet of Things Using Power Line (Power line communication). The said project is centred at designing and developing a technique for sending high speed data over the existing infrastructure of 230V 50Hz power line. The system makes use of multi carrier code division multiple access (MCCDMA) wherein the data is send using moderately high frequency. The proposed project is aimed at preparing a smart automation system for IoT using power Line Communication modem based on wavelet packet analysis to combat the adverse communication environment.

INTRODUCTION
here has been and still is much hype about the
Internet of Things. The idea of a globally interconnected continuum of devices. Today, a large number of different means are used to enable communication between heterogeneous devices. We see these as "Intranet of Things", representing vertical silos that do not support interoperability. However, this balkanisation of efforts will lead to a predictable slowdown in devising a viable global solution. Furthermore, existing solutions do not address the scalability requirements for a future Internet of Things. One of the solution to the above problems would be to deploy Power Line Communication. The Power Line Communication channel is notoriously bad channel that has been developed without regards for any communication consideration. However, it is so widely distributed that considerable cost saving can be achieved if used for data transmission. This is the sole reason why, power line communication is becoming a hot research topic since it provides wide range of application over the existing infrastructure of electric lines. The major challenge in PLC is to tackle the hostile environment of spiky and noisy high voltage power line. The proposed project aims to use MC-CDMA for data transmission and thereby avoid the problem of time varying channel attenuation, multipath frequency selective fading and noise. The technique of wavelet analysis can be used to deal with impedance matching. Phase Shift Keying modulation technique would be used to provide bandwidth efficient modulation. II. IMPLEMENTATION It is proposed to make PLC modem using Digital Signal Processing chips and ARM processor. The figure 1 shows a proposed block diagram for our implementation.

Base System: This block serves as a gateway for intra
net of things to connect to Internet of Things i.e. a bridge between local network and external internet. This is the heart of or central processing block of the proposed IoT. The main components of this block are digital signal processor, ARM microcontroller, Power Line Communication modem. Slave System: This block encomprises of systems which actually interact with electronic and nonelectronic appliances in IoT network. Home Router: This is usual TCP router which is used to connect main system to the internet. III. POWER LINE COMMUNICATION.
Power-line communication (PLC) carries data on a conductor
that is also used simultaneously for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers. It is also known as power-line carrier, power-line digital subscriber line (PDSL), mains communication, power-line telecommunications, or power-line networking (PLN). A number of difficult technical problems are common between wireless and power-line communication, notably those of spread spectrum radio signals operating in a crowded environment. Power-line communications systems operate by adding a modulated carrier signal to the wiring system. Different types of power-line communications use different frequency bands. Since the power distribution system was originally intended for transmission of AC power at typical frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, power wire circuits have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. The propagation problem is a limiting factor for each type of power-line communications.
2 The following block diagram depicts the proposed Power Line Communication.
C. PSK Modulator and De-modulator:
This block provides reliable modulation of the data. It is intended to use M-ary PSK to get proper utilisation of limited bandwidth. D. Isolation and Filters: This block basically provides isolation of the cold line (signals/data) from the hot (mains line). The basic element of this block is high pass filter which allows only high frequency components i.e. data signals to enter into the PLC model and completely rejects the low frequency (50 Hz) high voltage line.

A. Digital Signal Processor:
This block at the transmitter end accepts the data from the main microcontroller using UART and adds appropriate error correcting features and converts it into optimised line codes. At the receiver end an opposite of this occurs i.e. line coded information is taken in from the CDMA receiver and corresponding data is transmitted in UART form to the main C. B. CDMA: This block is used to provide port division multiple access data transmission. It is proposed to utilise the multi carrier CDMA technique in order to get good noise rejection and better utilisation of bandwidth.
