16 claims: 3 independent, 13 dependent

  1. 1
    Translation of claims of equivalent WO 0251089 A2 1. A method for transmitting .y.on data on at least one electrical power supply line, wherein periodically i pulse-shaped interference signals occur with intervening virtually interference-free time intervals, using the OFDM method ' (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), wherein the information to be transmitted is distributed over several carriers and the sum signal of all modulated carriers is transmitted in the form of an OFDM block, having the following features:- the OFDM method is designed that the OFDM blocks to be transmitted fill the majority of the period duration of the pulse-shaped interference signals and a pause vbn of approximately the duration of an interference pulse is maintained between two consecutive OFDM blocks, the position of the transmitted OFDM blocks is thus synchronized with the pulse-shaped, synchronized periodic glitches, that an OFDM block lies between two periodic glitches, and - the pulse-shaped interference signals are suppressed at the receiver by an appropriate circuit.
  2. 9
    9th Method according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the periodically recurring interference pulses are used for coarse synchronization of OFDM transmitters and OFDM receivers.
  3. 10
    10th Method according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first OFDM block is used for fine synchronization of the receiver, and in that following the fine synchronization training sequences are transmitted and that are connected to the payload carrying OFDM blocks.
