IEEE P1901: The IEEE P1901 Working Group (WG)
under the sponsorship of the IEEE Communications Society
developed the IEEE P1901 standard for high-speed
powerline communications to meet in-home multimedia,
utility and smart grid application requirements [36].
Access control and physical layer specifications for broadband
over powerline networks are analyzed in detail and
the access system with cell structure is defined by the IEEE
P1901 Working Group [36]. The IEEE P1901 standard
has an important effect on communications technology
by integrating powerline communications into wireless
networks with extensive features, such as high-speed,
walls-penetration, etc. [37].
