Employing qualitative approach, this study attempts to uncover the cross-cultural differences in motivations and behavioral patterns for using SNSs among the Korean and American users. The finding of this study shows the explicit differences in the motivations and strategies for using SNSs between Korean and American users, which is supported by the independent and interdependent self-construals theory proposed by Markus and Kitayama （1991）. The motivational themes and usage patterns emerged from Korean participants are more other- or relationship-focused, pursuing social/emotional support, while those of Americans are more ego- or self-focused, pertaining to entertainment or information seeking.展开更多

The simulation results show that the proposed TS-EIA-PTS PAPR reduction algorithm can reduce the computational complexity by 18.47% in the condition of the original signal sequence partitioned into 4 sub-blocks at the remaining stage of n-d=5. Furthermore, it has almost the same PAPR reduction performance and the same bit error rate(BER) performance as the EIA-PTS algorithm, and with the increase of the subcarrier number, the computational complexity can be further reduced. As a result, the proposed TS-EIA-PTS PAPR reduction algorithm is more suitable for the practical O-OFDM systems.展开更多
