Performance of HARQ-Assisted OFDM Systems Contaminated by Impulsive Noise: Finite-Length LDPC Code Analysis
Impulsive noise (IN) constitutes a limiting factor in power-line communication systems, especially in those relying on Storage Pier orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).If a single time-domain sample is contaminated by an impulse, all subcarriers become contaminated after the spreading of the discrete Fourier transform-based demodulati
