Disclosed is a windowing method for OTFS-based wireless signals to mitigate interference due to fractional delay and Doppler cases and to control out-of-band emission. The method provides for suitable windowing mechanisms for the multicarrier orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) scheme in order to manage out-of-band emission and interference due to the limited time and frequency resolution of the OTFS frame.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications by an apparatus. Certain techniques include sending an indication that the apparatus is capable of supporting lattice reduction (LR) demodulation; receiving a first LR transformation matrix (to be used for demodulating a modulated signal); and receiving the modulated signal.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a configuration of a control region in a delay-Doppler domain. The UE may receive, from the base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication with orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) precoding. The UE may decode the PDCCH communication with OTFS precoding based at least in part on the configuration of the control region in the delay-Doppler domain. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method for modulating data for transmission within a communication system. The method includes establishing a time-frequency shifting matrix of dimension NN, wherein N is greater than one. The method further includes combining the time-frequency shifting matrix with a data frame to provide an intermediate data frame. A transformed data matrix is provided by permuting elements of the intermediate data frame. A modulated signal is generated in accordance with elements of the transformed data matrix.

A method for processing a signal modulated with a variable carrier frequency includes calculating a coefficient for demodulation of the signal. The method also includes demodulating the signal by calculating discrete intermediate values utilizing the coefficient for a predefined maximum number of steps and calculating the signal with the aid of the intermediate values of the coefficient. The value of the coefficient is respectively calculated on the basis of carrier frequencies for each step.

A spectrally efficient low complex Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation-based transceiver system and method is provided. The system and method are developed for uplink and downlink wireless communication for resource-constrained IoT and M2M devices. The transceiver system includes at least one transmitter configured to transmit bit stream using adaptive Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) frame with selectively embedded pilot depending on mobility condition for improving spectral efficiency and at least one receiver configured to dispose onto IoT devices for receiving the transmitted bit stream. The receiver updates the transmitter about mobility condition of said at least one receiver through a control channel.

An access node, user equipment, apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for a communication system. An apparatus for a wireless transmitter device includes a transmitter module for transmitting wireless transmissions and a processing module, which controls the transmitter module. The processing module generates one or more transmit symbols in a Delay-Doppler domain to obtain a Delay-Doppler representation; transforms the Delay-Doppler representation into a Time-Frequency domain to obtain a Time-Frequency representation, the Time-Frequency representation having a first bandwidth and a first duration; adds pilot symbols to the Time-Frequency representation to obtain a Time-Frequency representation with an extended second bandwidth or an extended second duration; transforms the Time-Frequency representation with the extended second bandwidth or the extended second duration to the time domain to obtain a time domain representation; and transmits the time domain representation to a wireless receiver device.

Numerous Clos Star Networks (CSNs), each constructed as a set of connectors providing single-hop paths for each pair of access nodes of a respective access group, are fused to form a large-scale global network providing at least one single-hop path for each pair of access nodes of the formed global network. The access groups are arranged into access bands of multiple access groups each. Connectors of CSNs are paired to form distributors so that each access node has multiple parallel single-hop paths to each other access node of the same access band and one single-hop path to each access node of each other access band. The distributors are clustered into a set of geographically-spread constellations and each access node of the global network has a direct multichannel link to each of a respective subset of constellations thus entirely eliminating use of cross connectors and significantly simplifying the network structure.
