Sending multimedia data (e.g. data, image and video) using Power Line Communications (PLC) has been growing significantly. In fact, impulsive noise (IN) causes significant degradation which restricts communication performance in PLC. In this paper, we propose to study the impact of IN on image communication in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based PLC. A strightforward conventional iterative IN reduction algorithm, presented in [9] can be applied to improve bit-error rate (BER) in OFDM system. But, this iterative algorithm is insufissant to improve the visual quality Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) performance in image communication. First, we study its performance in terms of BER and PSNR using a convolutional encoder (CE). Then, we modify its concept by introducing CE and Viterbi decoder into the iterative algorithm. Finally, we aim to show the impact of BER degradation on visual quality PSNR performance of the reconstructed image. Our results lay out that the proposed method provides good PSNR and visual quality improvement than the conventional algorithm with and without CE.
