Problem

Existing power line communication modes are unstable due to noise issues, making them unsuitable for large data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method and apparatus that encapsulates data in a specific frame format, including a preamble, frame synchronization signal, address, data, check, and postamble fields, and uses BPSK encoding and modulation, with predetermined byte lengths and gap durations to enhance stability and noise reduction, allowing for reliable data transmission over power lines.

Solution Approach 1:

The data transmission is segmented into distinct frame structures with predefined fields including synchronization fields, address fields, data fields, and check fields. Each segment serves a specific function to ensure reliable transmission despite noise interference on power lines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Synchronization signals and check fields are prepared in advance within the frame structure before actual data transmission. The synchronization field is preliminarily established to enable receiver alignment, and check fields are pre-configured for error detection, allowing the system to proactively counteract noise effects.
