Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, a first power line communication (PLC) device connected to a PLC network includes channel control logic that assigns a first channel of the PLC network for transmission on a power line of PLC data packets between the first PLC device and a second PLC device connected to the PLC network and assigns a second channel of the PLC network for transmission on the power line of PLC data packets between the first PLC device and the third PLC device connected to the PLC network. The PLC device includes a transceiver that receives and transmits PLC data packets on the PLC network and which operates as a bridge device that communicates on both the first and second channels to pass PLC data packets between the second PLC device and the third PLC device.

Claim (Index 3):
The PLC device of  claim 2 , wherein execution of the training sequence comprises:\n determining the first transmission power level by:\n using the transmitter to repeatedly transmit from the PLC device onto the PLC network via the first channel using successively reduced transmission power levels until an acknowledgment of receipt of transmission is no longer received by the receiver via the first channel; and \n selecting the first transmission power level based on the lowest transmission power level that resulted in the receiver receiving an acknowledgement of receipt of the transmission via the first channel; and \n determining the second transmission power level by:\n using the transmitter to repeatedly transmit from the PLC device onto the PLC network via the second channel using successively reduced transmission power levels until an acknowledgment of receipt of transmission is no longer received by the receiver via the second channel; and \n selecting the second transmission power level based on the lowest transmission power level that resulted in the receiver receiving an acknowledgement of receipt of the transmission via the second channel.
