Single-Carrier Delay-Doppler Domain Equalization (2403.16453v1)
Abstract: For doubly-selective channels, delay-Doppler (DD) modulation, mostly known as orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation, enables simultaneous compensation of delay and Doppler shifts. However, OTFS modulated signal has high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) because of its precoding operation performed over the DD domain. In order to deal with this problem, we propose a single-carrier transmission with delay-Doppler domain equalization (SC-DDE). In this system, the discretized time-domain SC signal is converted to the DD domain by discrete Zak transform (DZT) at the receiver side, followed by delay-Doppler domain equalization (DDE). Since equalization is performed in the DD domain, the SC-DDE receiver should acquire the channel delay-Doppler response. To this end, we introduce an embedded pilot-aided channel estimation scheme designed for SC-DDE, which does not affect the peak power property of transmitted signals. Through computer simulation, distribution of PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system are compared with those of the conventional OTFS and SC with frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). As a result, our proposed SC-DDE significantly outperforms SC-FDE in terms of BER at the expense of additional computational complexity at the receiver. Furthermore, SC-DDE shows much lower PAPR than OTFS even though they achieve comparable coded BER performance.
