Abstract

In this paper, we compare the major issues associated with TDMA and S-CDMA, which is planned to be adopted as a new cable modem technique for upstream channel. In particular, we mainly deal with the following 3 topics: MAC protocol, modem structure and BER performance comparison between TDMA and S-CDMA.
