Powerline Communications (PLC) are currently being considered as an alternative for high-speed data communications and Internet access. With multiple outlets in almost every room, power lines are already the most pervasive network in the home or small office. This work presents a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for the "last mile" access PLC networks. Via an extensive simulation study, our protocol is compared to a well-known protocol from the literature in terms of the efficiency of the transmission of long messages; our protocol is shown to excel both in network utilization and in the average signaling delay required for the completion of the transmission request procedure, in both the cases of a lightly and heavily disturbed PLC network.
