文摘水声通信作为海洋信息传输的核心技术,广泛应用于海洋探测、海事监管及海底工程等领域。然而,水声信道因双重色散特性而极具挑战性,对系统设计构成重大障碍。尽管正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM)技术已在水声通信中得到广泛应用,但其性能仍受限于信道状态估计的准确性。正交时频空(Orthogonal Time Frequency Space, OTFS)调制技术通过将数据转换到时延-多普勒域内传输,能够有效地应对水声信道中的多径效应和多普勒频移,提高通信系统的性能和可靠性。综述了OTFS在水声通信中的关键处理技术,涵盖信道估计、信道均衡及多址接入技术三个核心方面,并从天线拓展、机器学习融合及同步创新等方面探讨了未来发展趋势,同时详细分析了复杂信道环境下的信号检测、计算复杂度与实时性平衡、参数估计准确性及水下环境对数据可靠性的影响面临的技术挑战。
文摘正交时频空(Orthogonal Time Frequency Space,OTFS)系统由于在面对高速移动通信场景下的时频双色散信道时的优异性能受到了广泛关注。为了准确获取信道状态信息,采用基于压缩感知的信道估计方法,并辅以特殊的导频序列完成信道估计。该文针对导频优化问题,提出了一种基于改进遗传算法的OTFS导频序列优化方法,该方法以互相关最小化为优化目标,采用遗传算法进行寻优,并能够自适应调整交叉和变异概率,在较少的迭代次数下即可实现比传统伪随机序列更优的互相关性,能够有效提高信道估计的准确性。此外,考虑到目标函数的计算量较大,该文分析了互相关的计算过程,并对其中的冗余计算进行了化简,与直接计算字典集的互相关值相比大大提高了算法的优化效率。
文摘针对低轨卫星星地通信高动态信道特点,采用正交时频空(Orthogonal Time Frequency Space, OTFS)调制方式,提出一种低导频开销、高精度的两阶段信道估计方法,实现对时延、多普勒频移和信道增益3个参数的精细估计。所提TP-CSIE(Two Phase Channel State Information Estimation)方案采用时域训练序列为导频结构,解决时延-多普勒(Delay-Doppler, DD)域嵌入式导频方案在高动态星地链路下导频开销过大的问题。由于DD域信道的固有稀疏性,OTFS信道估计问题被转化为稀疏信号的恢复问题。在算法第一阶段,选用稀疏信号恢复算法进行信道参数的初始估计,利用重叠相加法获得部分先验信息以提高压缩采样匹配追踪(Compressive Sampling Matching Pursuit, CoSAMP)算法的准确性。在算法第二阶段,设计增强型旋转不变子空间算法实现信道参数的准确估计。仿真结果表明,与现有方案相比,所提算法归一化均方误差性能约有7 dB性能的提升,误码率性能约有10 dB的提升。
文摘针对正交时频空(Orthogonal Time Frequency Space, OTFS)调制系统中均衡器性能不佳及线性滤波器复杂度较高等问题,提出了一种LU(Lower-Upper)分解与迭代最小均方误差(Iterative Minimum Mean Square Error, IMMSE)均衡器结合的OTFS系统信号检测算法(LU-IMMSE)。该算法依据时延多普勒域稀疏信道矩阵的特征,采用一种低复杂度的LU分解方法,以避免MMSE均衡器求解矩阵逆的过程,在保证均衡器性能的前提下降低了均衡器复杂度。在OTFS系统中引入一种IMMSE均衡器,通过不断迭代更新发送符号均值和方差这些先验信息来逼近MMSE均衡器最优估计值。LU-IMMSE算法通过调节迭代次数可以有效降低误比特率。在比特信噪比为8 dB时,5次迭代后的LU-IMMSE均衡器误比特率相比传统的MMSE均衡器降低了约11 dB。随着迭代次数的增大,较传统IMMSE算法降低了计算复杂度。在最大时延系数为4、符号数为16的情况下,与直接求逆相比,所提出的低复杂度LU分解方法降低了约91.72%的矩阵求逆计算复杂度。

文摘Orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation,collaborated with millimeter-wave(mmWave)massive multiple-input-multiple-output(MIMO),is a promising technology for next generation wireless communications in high mobility scenarios.However,one of the main challenges for mmWave massive MIMO-OTFS systems is the enormous computational complexity of channel estimation incurred by the huge OTFS symbol size and the large number of antennas.To address this issue,in this paper,a tensor-based orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)channel estimation algorithm is proposed by exploiting the channel sparsity in the delay-Doppler-angle domain.In particular,we firstly propose a novel pilot design for the OTFS symbol structure in the frequency-time domain.Then,based on the proposed pilot structure,we formulate the channel estimation as a sparse signal recovery problem,and the tensor decomposition and parallel support detection are introduced into the tensor-based OMP algorithm to reduce the signal processing dimension significantly.Numerical simulations are performed to verify the superiority and the robustness of the proposed tensor-based OMP algorithm.

文摘As a complement of terrestrial networks,non-terrestrial networks(NTN)have ad⁃vantages of wide-area coverage and service continuity.The NTN is potential to play an impor⁃tant role in the 5G new radio(NR)and beyond.To enable the massive machine type communi⁃cations(mMTC),the low earth orbit(LEO)satellite is preferred due to its lower transmission delay and path loss.However,the LEO satellite may generate notable Doppler shifts to de⁃grade the system performance.Recently,orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation has been proposed.It provides the opportunity to allocate delay Doppler(DD)domain resourc⁃es,which is promising for mitigating the effect of high mobility.Besides,as the LEO satellite constellation systems such as Starlink are thriving,the space spectrum resources have become increasingly scarce.Therefore,non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)is considered as a candidate technology to realize mMTC with limited spectrum resources.In this paper,the ap⁃plication of OTFS enabled NOMA for mMTC over the LEO satellite is investigated.The LEO satellite based mMTC system and the OTFS-NOMA schemes are described.Subsequently,the challenges of applying OTFS and NOMA into LEO satellite mMTC systems are discussed.Fi⁃nally,the potential technologies for the systems are investigated.
