Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If OTFS frame uses fixed multiples of transmission bandwidth and frame duration for delay and Doppler spread grid, then implementation in conventional LTE standard is feasible, but severe interference between delay-Doppler grids occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing fractional delays and Doppler shifts that are not integer multiples of the basic grid spacing. This allows the system to operate with more flexible time-frequency parameters while managing interference through appropriate windowing functions. The parameter transformation from fixed integer multiples to fractional values enables better adaptation to actual channel conditions while maintaining implementation feasibility through the use of standardized FFT/IFFT operations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional windowing schemes from OFDM systems are used to reduce adjacent channel interference, then adjacent channel interference is reduced, but impact of fractional delay-Doppler grid in OTFS transmission is not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the windowing function application into two distinct domains: time-domain windowing for adjacent channel interference reduction and delay-Doppler domain windowing for grid interference mitigation. This segmentation allows each windowing operation to address specific interference types independently, combining both benefits in the OTFS transmission system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the conventional one-dimensional time-domain windowing to two-dimensional delay-Doppler domain windowing. By applying windowing operations in the delay-Doppler domain in addition to the time domain, the system addresses the unique characteristics of OTFS transmission where interference occurs in both time and frequency (Doppler) dimensions simultaneously.
3Productivity
If OFDM-based systems are used in time-varying wireless channels with Doppler effect, then spectral efficiency is achieved in time-invariant environments, but severe inter-carrier interference occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from the conventional two-dimensional time-frequency domain of OFDM to a three-dimensional delay-Doppler-time domain for OTFS. By mapping data symbols to the delay-Doppler domain and using two-dimensional inverse symplectic finite Fourier transform (2D-ISFFT), the system achieves time-invariant channel characteristics even in time-varying environments, eliminating ICI while maintaining spectral efficiency through proper resource utilization.
