description Power line communication (PLC) can realize low-cost IOT access and is widely used in home and new energy applications. To meet the requirements of low-latency services such as remote control and demand-side response, a joint optimal allocation algorithm of subcarriers and their power based on diversity grouping and channel prediction is proposed. First, considering the influence of channel estimation and prediction errors, a resource allocation model is established with the constraints of subcarrier data volume and transmission power, and the objective is to minimize the total delay of multiple slots. The optimal power allocation under the condition of a single slot is realized by subcarrier diversity grouping and improved genetic algorithm, and then the subcarrier power below the rate threshold is recycled and allocated to the slot with good prediction performance. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is compared and analyzed by simulation. The results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the rate fluctuation and improve the system delay performance and deterministic transmission ability under the condition of ensuring the average rate optimization.
