Specification
PRIME Specification v1.4 (Current version)
This is a complete specification for a new OFDM-based power line communication system for the provision of all kinds of Smart Grid services over electricity distribution networks. Both PHY and MAC layers according to IEEE conventions, plus a Convergence layer, are described in the Specification.
PRIME Specification v1.3 (Legacy version)
This is a complete draft specification for a new OFDM-based power line communications for the provision of all kinds of Smart Grid services over electricity distribution networks. Both PHY and MAC layers according to IEEE conventions, plus a Convergence layer, are described in the Specification.

G.9901 (06/17) – Narrowband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing power line communication transceivers – Power spectral density specification.
G.9904 (10/12) – Narrowband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing power line communication transceivers for PRIME networks
IEEE 1901.2
A worldwide standard for narrowband power line communications (PLC) via alternating current, direct current, and nonenergized electric power lines using frequencies below 500 kHz. Data rates of up to 500 kb/s are supported. The field of use includes Smart Grid applications. Coexistence mechanisms that can be used by other PLC technologies operating below 500 kHz are also included. These coexistence mechanisms may be used separately from the rest of the standard.
