Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for wireless communication are described. One example method includes mapping information bits to transmission resources in a two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid In this example, the two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid includes N Doppler elements along a Doppler dimension and M delay elements along a delay dimension, and N and M are positive integers. The example method continues with converting a result of the mapping to a signal waveform, and generating an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform by spreading the signal waveform using a spreading scheme. In some examples, the signal waveform includes an ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform.

Methods, systems and devices for lattice reduction in decision feedback equalizers for orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation are described. An exemplary wireless communication method, implementable by a wireless communication receiver apparatus, includes receiving a signal comprising information bits modulated using OTFS modulation scheme. Each delay-Doppler bin in the signal is modulated using a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mapping. The method also includes estimating the information bits based on an inverse of a single error covariance matrix of the signal, with the single error covariance matrix being representative of an estimation error for all delay-Doppler bins in the signal.

A method of reducing peak to average power ratio of uplink transmission includes, assigning a slice of transmission resource to uplink transmission from a user equipment, where all resource elements in the slice have a same Doppler value, mapping data to the slice, performing orthogonal time frequency space transformation to generate time-frequency domain data and processing the time-frequency domain data for transmission.
Abstract:
An iterative two dimension equalizer usable in a receiver of orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulated signals is described. In one configuration of the equalizer, a forward path generates, from received time-frequency domain samples and a channel estimate, estimates of data bits and likelihood numbers associated with the estimates of data bits, generated by delay -Doppler domain processing. In the feedback direction, the estimates of data bits are used to generate symbol estimates and autocorrelation matrix estimate in the time domain. In another configuration, a soft symbol mapper is used in the feedback direction for directly generating the feedback input symbol estimate without having to generate estimates of data bits.
Abstract:
A method and system for multiple access in a system utilizing two-dimensional signal modulation. The method includes spreading data symbols arranged in a two-dimensional information domain onto sets of grid points respectively associated with different users in a time-frequency domain. The spreading is performed using two-dimensional basis functions uniquely associated with positions on a lattice in the information domain corresponding to the data symbols. A modulated signal is then generated using the sets of transformed symbols. The sets of grid points associated with the different users may be interleaved within the time-frequency domain or may form non-interleaved windows.
Abstract:
An alternative method of data communications using orthogonal time frequency shifting (OTFS) wireless waveforms configured so as to transmit data in a manner that is relatively insensitive to communications channel distortions and frequency shifts. In contrast to prior methods taught by applicant, the present disclosure teaches an alternative modulation scheme that maps data symbols intended for data transmission onto a symplectic-like 2D Fourier transform which operates on a form of the original data symbols. This 2D Fourier transform in turn is passed through a filter bank of narrow band filters, and the output in turn used to modulate transmitted waveforms according to various time slices until the entire 2D Fourier transform has been transmitted. At the receiver, and inverse of this process can be used to both characterize the data channel and correct the received signals for channel distortions, thus receiving a clear form of the original data symbols.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for wireless communication are described. One example method includes performing a first mapping in which information bits are mapped to transmission resources in a first portion of a two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid. Herein, the two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid comprises N Doppler elements and M delay elements, where N and M are positive integers. The method further includes performing a second mapping in which a reference signal is mapped to transmission resources in a second portion of the two-dimensional delay-Doppler grid, and generating a transmission waveform from a signal combination of an output of the first mapping and an output of the second mapping. The transmission waveform corresponds to an output of an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform of the signal combination, and at least the output of the second mapping undergoes a time domain spreading.
