Hello everyone! I am working on power line communication and i am getting confused whether i should go for serial communication or any other protocol, Can anyone suggest me the same.
Regards, Salma
Look at existing standards available first?
That is what I suggest since this has already been done elsewhere.

Yes Sir! it has been done,but i am trying for the low cost one. my application is automatic meter reading. with simple power line modem and simple low coast microcontroller.

And the Echelon solution is too expensive?
ECHELON? What is that? I am using simple IC from nxp semiconductors. As i am new to 'C' I am not getin how to start with the serial communication implementation. Suggestions are welcome if any!

Break your project into smaller pieces.
One piece is using your processors to communicate directly between each other.
A second piece to worry about the electrical interfaces for using the power grid.
I wasn't joking when I listed a large number of serial technologies. You really have to consider what to use. If you are going to use the UART of the processor, or maybe something fancier.
