DC carrier, so we drop it. Otherwise, it completely messes up the
symbol in that bin. Since we often use even numbers of bins, we don't
really have a "DC subcarrier," and to make it easier for the examples,
I just dropped the center two, knowing that at least one of them would
be hit by this effect. In fact, Matt and I in our work last week ended
up dropping the center 4 so that this large amount of energy didn't
bleed into the next subcarrier, too.
Even though the center two subcarriers are dropped, we still use all
occupied_tones number of carriers, so this is going to take an extra
one on either side. So it should use carriers (15 - 30) and (33 - 48).
Also, the center two subcarriers that are dropped should be 31 and 32
and I mostly see the DC peak happen in the right-most bin (in this
case, 32). Are your numbers coming from starting the counting of
subcarriers at 0?
