Abstract
En 中文
The recently-developed orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is capable of transforming the time-varying fading of the time-frequency (TF) domain into the time-invariant fading representations of the delay-Doppler (DD) domain. The OTFS system using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) as inner core naturally requires the subcarrier spacing (SCS) Delta f$ to be larger than the maximum Doppler frequency theta(max), i.e. Delta f > theta(max), when perfect channel state information (CSI) knowledge is assumed. However, for the first time in literature, we explicitly demonstrate that the practical OFDM-based OTFS systems have to double their SCS in order to facilitate CSI estimation, requiring Delta f' = 2 Delta f > 2 theta(max). In order to mitigate this loss, we propose a novel noncoherent OTFS system, which is capable of operating at Delta f > theta(max). The major challenge in this context is the mitigation of the DD-domain interference without CSI. Against this background, we draw an analogy between the input-output model of OTFS and that of V-BLAST, where V-BLAST's blind inter-antenna interference mitigation technique is invoked. Moreover, we propose to partition the DD-domain modulated symbols into groups, where space-time block coding is invoked in order to eliminate the DD-domain interference within each group. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed noncoherent OTFS is capable of substantially outperforming its coherent counterparts relying on CSI estimation.
