• In broadband Power-Line Communications (PLC), the background noise commonly assumed as Gaussian may not truly depict the effect of the human activities on noise characteristics. Symmetric Alpha-Stable (S$\alpha$S) process is used to model the PLC background noise, obtaining analytical expressions, and the analytical Symbol Error Rate (SER) performance is investigated for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based PLC systems. The analysis shows that the real or the imaginary component after the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the received complex baseband S$\alpha$S noise samples follows univariate S$\alpha$S distribution. Due to the fact that the S$\alpha$S background noise occupies the whole OFDM system bandwidth, the SER performance of the system decreases as the employed FFT size grows.
