Method and system for localizing a disturber in a PLC network

A method for determining a location of at least one dominant disturber in a PLC network comprising PLC transceivers interconnected by segments of said PLC network, the method comprising: - determining disturber signals indicating presence or absence of disturbers based upon obtained and processed channel frequency response information pertaining to a PLC transceiver of a segment; and - for at least one of the segments generating PLC transceiver statistics for PLC transceivers of the one segment based upon at least one of : - related disturber signals; and - related channel frequency response information, respectively related to one of the PLC transceivers of the segment; and - applying a decision criterion to the generated PLC transceiver statistics to select one of the transceiver statistics indicating the dominant disturber being located in the proximity of the pertaining transceiver.
