The Effect of Fine-Grained Control of Workflow on Informal Learning: The Mediating Effect of Teacher Burnout by Zenghui Lu, Yanning Chen

“…Based on the fine control theory of workflow, this paper constructs a mediating effect model of teacher burnout in primary and secondary school teachers from the perspective of informal learning. The model designs a measurement scale based on the results of fine control, and the scale is revised through informal learning pretests to form the logical frame analysis loop of this paper. …”

Tone reservation technique combined with active constellation extension for PAPR reduction of OFDM signal by Fang LIU, Yong WANG

“…To overcome the drawbacks of existing tone reservation(TR) techniques,an efficient TR algorithm combined with active constellation extension (ACE-TR) was proposed for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of or-thogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal.By means of a specially designed iterative procedure and a joint optimization approach for PAPR and bit-error-rate (BER) performances,ACE-TR was able to obtain both an im-proved BER and minimized out-of-band interference while reducing the PAPR effectively.A comprehensive theoretical analysis was presented,and some important results including the bounds of achievable PAPR gain,BER bound,and maximum iteration number were derived.Specifically,by adaptively adjusting the iterative parameters in the optimization approach,more trade-off flexibility between PAPR reduction and BER performance can be offered to satisfy various de-sign requirements.Simulations demonstrate that ACE-TR can dramatically decrease the number of required it ions to reach the desired PAPR with low computation complexity.In addition,the transmitted OFDM symbols using the pro-posed ACE-TR have less in-band distortion and lower out-of-band spectral regrowth than traditional TR algorithms.…”

User scheduling and power allocation strategy for cell-free networks based on federated learning by WANG Huahua, HUANG Yexia, LI Ling

“…In order to address the issue of limited training performance in federated learning (FL) due to user link quality disparities and imbalanced communication, and computing resource utilization in cell-free network systems, a joint optimization problem for user scheduling and power allocation was designed. Firstly, a low-complexity resource priority based secondary sampling user scheduling (RPSS-US) algorithm was proposed. …”
