Abstract:

In order to provide reliable communication service for high-mobility scenarios, 6G can consider DD (delay-Doppler) domain based OTFS (orthogonal time frequency space) as its modulation scheme.By mapping the transmitted symbols onto DD domain and transforming them into TF (time-frequency) domain, OTFS endows all the transmitted symbols with the potential of capturing time-frequency full diversity, effectively improving the performance of communication in time-varying fading channels.Due to the superior properties of DD effective channel, the existing OTFS channel estimation methods were mostly carried out in DD domain.Considering the difference of implementation and application scenarios, existing DD channel estimation methods for OTFS were divided into three categories and overviewed, after which the challenges and potential solutions for current DD channel estimation methods were summarized and analyzed.

Key words: orthogonal time frequency space, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, delay-Doppler domain, channel estimation
