abstract

The Zak-OTFS input/output (I/O) relation is predictable and non-fading when the delay and Doppler periods are greater than the effective channel delay and Doppler spreads, a condition which we refer to as the crystallization condition. The filter taps can simply be read off from the response to a single Zak-OTFS point (impulse) pulsone waveform, and the I/O relation can be reconstructed for a sampled system that operates under finite duration and bandwidth constraints. Predictability opens up the possibility of a model-free mode of operation. The time-domain realization of a Zak-OTFS point pulsone is a pulse train modulated by a tone, hence the name, pulsone. The Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of a pulsone is about $15$ dB, and we describe a general method for constructing a spread pulsone for which the time-domain realization has a PAPR of about 6dB. We construct the spread pulsone by applying a type of discrete spreading filter to a Zak-OTFS point pulsone. The self-ambiguity function of the point pulsone is supported on the period lattice ${\Lambda}_{p}$, and by applying a discrete chirp filter, we obtain a spread pulsone with a self-ambiguity function that is supported on a rotated lattice ${\Lambda^*}$. We show that if the channel satisfies the crystallization conditions with respect to ${\Lambda^*}$ then the effective DD domain filter taps can simply be read off from the cross-ambiguity between the channel response to the spread pulsone and the transmitted spread pulsone. If, in addition, the channel satisfies the crystallization conditions with respect to the period lattice ${\Lambda}_{p}$, then in an OTFS frame consisting of a spread pilot pulsone and point data pulsones, after cancelling the received signal corresponding to the spread pulsone, we can recover the channel response to any data pulsone.

    eess.SP 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A delay-Doppler pulse-shaping phase ramp shifts each Zak-OTFS user's signal into its own time-frequency slot, and simulations show multiuser uplink performance matching single-user performance without guard bands.

    TF-shift multiuser Zak-OTFS with heterogeneous frames and superimposed ZC spread-pilots yields near-single-user IOR estimation and filter-dependent spectral-efficiency gains over embedded pilots.

    eess.SP 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In Zak-OTFS, the cross-ambiguity of received and transmitted random data is approximately the channel, so detected data can replace periodic pilots and enable pilot-free differential detection.
