Abstract

Systems and methods for synchronizing a power line communication system including a power line and one or more devices communicatively coupled to the power line. A mains frequency of the power line is estimated at the devices, and corresponding local frequencies of the devices are adjusted based on the corresponding estimated mains frequency. Data signals are transmitted from or received by the devices based on the adjusted local frequencies.
