OTFS SISO Modulation OTFS modulation at the transmitter is composed of an OTFS pre-processing block and a traditional frequency-time modulator such as OFDM. The OTFS pre-processing block maps the 2D data block in the delay-Doppler domain to the 2D block in the frequency-time domain by using the inverse symplectic finite Fourier transform (ISFFT).

OTFS SISO Demodulation OTFS demodulation at the receiver is composed of the traditional OFDM demodulator and an OTFS post-processing block. The OTFS post-processing block maps the received signals in the frequency-time domain to the 2D block in the delay-Doppler domain by using the SFFT.

OTFS Massive MIMO OTFS working in massive MIMO systems can further increase the spectrum efficiency by using multi-user MIMO. The main challenge for OTFS massive MIMO is the downlink channel estimation due to the required high pilot overhead.
