1. An aircraft power distribution system, comprising:
a power distribution bus supplying power along an electrical line;
a primary communication module comprising a primary transceiver and a primary controller, with the primary transceiver configured to receive and transmit data through the power distribution bus; and
a plurality of secondary communication modules, each secondary communication module in the plurality of secondary communication modules comprising:
a power input receiving power and data from the power distribution bus;
a power output supplying at least power to a load;
a secondary transceiver communicatively coupled to the primary transceiver by way of the power distribution bus; and
a secondary controller communicatively coupled to the secondary transceiver;
wherein the primary communication module is configured to:
receive a first message at a first communication frequency from a secondary communication module in the plurality of secondary communication modules; and
compare a signal quality of the first message with a quality threshold indicative of a need to improve the signal quality.
