DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF FOR USE IN POWER LINE COMMUNICATIONS

Taiwan, Province of China

Overview

A data processing apparatus and a data processing method thereof for use in power line communications are provided. The data processing apparatus includes a first communication interface, a second communication interface, a storage, and a processor electrically connected to the first communication interface, the second communication interface and the storage. The first communication interface communicates with an electricity meter via a first power line and receives a first signal from the electricity meter, wherein the first signal comprises electricity meter data. The second communication interface communicates with a concentrator via a second power line. The processor estimates a first channel parameter of the second power line, and stores the electricity meter data to the storage if the processor determines that the first channel parameter is larger than a channel parameter threshold.
