Abstract
S-CDMA is the advanced physical layer modulation techniques of DOCSIS 2.0 specification. S-DMT is another challenging modulation technique for cable modem upstream channel due to the intrinsic robustness for fading and impulse noise. The BER performance of S-DMT and S-CDMA over the mixed channel model of AWGN and impulse noise were evaluated in comparison with TDMA. The mathematical BER derivation and the comparison of those three types of technique were performed based on the ${\varepsilon}-mixture$ non-Gaussian impulse noise model. The results of simulation show good compliance with those of analytic BER derivation. By the results of comparisons, it was verified that the performance of S-CDMA and S-DMT is almost the same, but the performance of S-DMT is far superior to that of TDMA at typical BER range of the practical data communications.
