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 1):
A power line communication (PLC) device comprising:\n channel control logic to assign a first channel of a PLC network for transmission of first PLC data packets from the PLC device and to assign a second channel of the PLC network for transmission of second PLC data packets from the PLC device; and transmitter control logic to determine a first transmission power level for transmitting the first PLC data packets a first transmission distance and a second transmission power level for transmitting the second PLC data packets a second transmission distance; a transmitter to transmit the first PLC data packets the first transmission distance using the first transmission power level and to transmit the second PLC data packets the second transmission distance using the second transmission power level; and a receiver to receive transmissions sent on the PLC network; wherein the second transmission power level is greater than the first transmission power level and the second transmission distance is greater than the first transmission distance.
