Figure 5.3 illustrates the respective times of these various OFDM blocks.

The complete frame time is defined by adding the various OFDM symbol block

times. The maximum possible transmission speed and the bit rate concerning the

data link layer can be calculated in this way.

With a 2,705-byte frame, the maximum transmission speed is obtained in the

following way:

Bit rate

PHY_MAX

= 2,705 × 8 bits/1,534.86 μs = 14.1 Mbit/s

With an Ethernet data frame with a maximum length of 1,500 bytes, the maxi-

mum bit rate is the following:

Bit rate

PHY_MAX

= 1,500 × 8 bits/1,534.86 μs = 7.81 Mbit/s

Table 5.2 summarizes the maximum theoretical transmission speeds in the

HomePlug 1.0 standard. As we’ll see in part II of the book, these values are lower in

practice.
