In this chapter, an overview of the two PHY layers specified in the IEEE 1901-2010 standard (based on the FFT-ODFM and W-OFDM techniques) will be initially presented. Next, some performance simulations of these PHY layers will be carried out taking into account the effects caused by multipath fading channels, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulsive noise. Finally, the results obtained for each case studied will be analyzed. The similarities between the recent BB-PLC standards, the widespread recognition of the importance of the IEEE 1901-2010 standard, and the fact that it includes the specifications of the two relevant BB-PLC standards (HomePlug and HD-PLC), with some interesting particularities, justifies this chapter to focus only on the IEEE 1901-2010 (favoring objectivity and simplicity of reading).
