Tomlinson-Harashima precoding in an OTFS communication system
First Claim
1. A method for signal transmission using precoded symbol information, the method comprising:
- estimating a two-dimensional model of a communication channel in a delay-Doppler domain wherein the two-dimensional model of the communication channel is a function of time delay and frequency shift;
determining a perturbation vector in a delay-time domain wherein the delay-time domain is related to the delay-Doppler domain by an FFT operation;
modifying user symbols based upon the perturbation vector so as to produce perturbed user symbols;
determining, using a delay-time model of the communication channel, a set of Tomlinson-Harashima precoders corresponding to a set of fixed times in the delay-time domain;
generating precoded user symbols by applying the Tomlinson-Harashima precoders to the perturbed user symbols; and
providing, based upon the precoded user symbols, a modulated signal for transmission over the communication channel.

Abstract
A method for signal transmission using precoded symbol information involves estimating a two-dimensional model of a communication channel in a delay-Doppler domain. A perturbation vector is determined in a delay-time domain wherein the delay-time domain is related to the delay-Doppler domain by an FFT operation. User symbols are modified based upon the perturbation vector so as to produce perturbed user symbols. A set of Tomlinson-Harashima precoders corresponding to a set of fixed times in the delay-time domain may then be determined using a delay-time model of the communication channel. Precoded user symbols are generated by applying the Tomlinson-Harashima precoders to the perturbed user symbols. A modulated signal is then generated based upon the precoded user symbols and provided for transmission over the communication channel.
