Co-existence between an Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation system and a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is achieved by generating a number of transmission beams for a first group of user equipment operating using LTE, and a second group of user equipment operating using the OTFS protocol, and transmitting a first group of data packets formatted according to the LTE protocol to the first group of user equipment and a second group of data packets formatted according to the OTFS protocol to the second group of user equipment. The transmissions are performed by precoding and modulating the first group of data packets according to an LTE modulation scheme, and precoding and modulating the second group of data packets according to an OTFS modulation scheme.

Co-existence of orthogonal time frequency space and long term evolution systems

Methods, systems and device for achieving synchronization in an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) signal receiver are described. An exemplary signal reception technique includes receiving an OTFS modulated wireless signal comprising pilot signal transmissions interspersed with data transmissions, calculating autocorrelation of the wireless signal using the wireless signal and a delayed version of the wireless signal that is delayed by a pre-determined delay, thereby generating an autocorrelation output, processing the autocorrelation filter through a moving average filter to produce a fine timing signal. Another exemplary signal reception technique includes receiving an OTFS modulated wireless signal comprising pilot signal transmissions interspersed with data transmissions, performing an initial automatic gain correction of the received OTFS wireless signal by peak detection and using clipping information, performing coarse automatic gain correction on results of a received and initial automatic gain control (AGC)-corrected signal.

Achieving synchronization in an orthogonal time frequency space signal receiver

Device, methods and systems for aspects of channel estimation for orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation in wireless systems are described. In an aspect, a method for wireless communication may include receiving, using multiple receive antennas, from a number of user devices, non-orthogonal pilots wherein at least some transmissions of the non-orthogonal pilots from different user devices overlap in at least some time and frequency resources, estimating individual pilots from the number of user devices by computing a pilot separation filter for each antenna, and estimating the wireless channel at time and frequency resources used by the non-orthogonal pilots by filtering the receiving signal at the multiple receiver antennas.

Aspects of channel estimation for orthogonal time frequency space modulation for wireless communications

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.

Lattice reduction in wireless communication

Described are devices, systems and methods for scheduling multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmissions in a fixed wireless access (FWA) system. One method for scheduling a large number of user devices in a wireless communication system includes a preselection process to pare down the number of user devices to be simultaneously scheduled, and then scheduling that subset of users. In an example, and assuming each user device communicates over a corresponding wireless channel, the preselection process includes determining a number of sets based on a first characteristic of the wireless channels, where each set includes at least one user device, and then determining a subset of user devices by selecting at most one user device from each of the sets. The scheduling of the selected subset of users is based on a scheduling algorithm and a second characteristic of the wireless channels.

Scheduling multi-user MIMO transmissions in fixed wireless access systems

Device, methods and systems for precoding in wireless systems using orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing are described. An exemplary method for transmitting wireless signals includes mapping data to generate a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal in a delay Doppler domain, determining a perturbation signal to minimize expected interference and noise, perturbing the QAM signal with the perturbation signal, thereby producing a perturbed signal, generating a pre-coded signal by pre-coding, using a linear pre-coder, the perturbed signal, and transmitting the pre-coded signal using an orthogonal time frequency space modulation signal scheme.

Device, methods and systems for recoding in wireless systems using orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing are described. An exemplary method for transmitting wireless signals includes mapping data to generate a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal in a delay Doppler domain, determining a perturbation signal to minimize expected interference and noise, perturbing the QAM signal with the perturbation signal, thereby producing a perturbed signal, generating a pre-coded signal by pre-coding, using a linear pre-coder, the perturbed signal, and transmitting the pre-coded signal using an orthogonal time frequency space modulation signal scheme.

Methods, devices and systems for generating physical random access channel sequences that can be used to efficiently access a wireless network are disclosed. One exemplary method of accessing a wireless network includes generating a repeated orthogonal sequence by repeating a base orthogonal sequence, generating a random access sequence by applying a window function to the repeated orthogonal sequence, and accessing the wireless network using a random access procedure by selectively using the random access sequence. In an example, the base orthogonal sequence may be a Zadoff-Chu sequence. In another example, the window function may be a root-Hamming window.
