A wide-band impulse-noise survey on subscriber lines and inter-office trunks - Modeling and simulation

Alternatives of a simulation model for impulse noise on subscriber lines are proposed and their statistical properties are outlined. Several pseudo-noise generators are combined with spectral shaping operations to approximate the desired statistics of the non-stationary disturbance. Although the considerations are based on the special statistical properties of impulse noise, the applied methods may as well be applicable to other modeling purposes. Especially, a proposal that allows to generate samples that fulfill the required amplitude statistics and bring forth a prescribed power density spectrum may be suitable elsewhere, too
