The Medium Access Control protocol of Power Line Communication networks
(defined in Homeplug and IEEE 1901 standards) has received relatively
modest attention from the research community. As a consequence,
there is only one analytic model that complies with the standardised MAC
procedures and considers unsaturated conditions. We identify two important
limitations of the existing analytic model: high computational expense
and predicted results just prior to the predicted saturation point do not
correspond to long-term network performance. In this work, we present a
simplification of the previously defined analytic model of Homeplug MAC
able to substantially reduce its complexity and demonstrate that the previous
performance results just before predicted saturation correspond to a
transitory phase. We determine that the causes of previous misprediction
are common analytical assumptions and the potential occurrence of a transitory
phase, that we show to be of extremely long duration under certain
circumstances. We also provide techniques, both analytical and experimental,
to correctly predict long-term behaviour and analyse the effect of specific
Homeplug/IEEE 1901 features on the magnitude of misprediction errors
