The IEEE 1901 powerline standard can be deployed using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) since it is robust over impulsive channels. However, the powerline channel picks up impulsive interference that the conventional OFDM driver cannot combat. Since the probability density function (PDF) of OFDM amplitudes follow the Rayleigh distribution, it becomes difficult to correctly predict the existence of impulsive noise (IN) in powerline systems. In this study, we use companding transforms to convert the PDF of the conventional OFDM system to a uniform distribution which avails the identification and mitigation of IN. Results show significant improvement in the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when nonlinear optimization search is applied. We also show that the conventional PDF leads to false IN detection which diminishes the output SNR when nonlinear memoryless mitigation scheme such as clipping or blanking is applied. Thus, companding OFDM signals before transmission helps to correctly predict the optimal blanking or clipping threshold which in turn improves the output SNR performance.
