Abstract

Do you know of any rule of thumb for how often a piece of software should need maintenance? I’m not thinking about bug fixes, since bugs are there from the moment the code is written, but about the constant refactoring that seems to go on in code. Sometimes I feel as if programmers use refactoring as a way of keeping their jobs, rather than offering any real improvement.

Biorthogonal frequency division multiple access

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) multicarrier modulation is the key technology in wireless communication. However, OFDMA can just get the best performance under strict carrier frequency synchronisation. Furthermore, the rectangular ...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing: a multi-carrier modulation scheme

This paper presents a multi-carrier digital modulation technique-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. A review of the technique and its development and implementation are provided. The advantages and disadvantages in comparison to other ...
Non‐orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based on sparse representation

This study proposes a sparse non‐orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (S‐NOFDM) based on sparse representation to improve the spectral efficiency of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The subcarriers of S‐NOFDM are generated from a ...
