Abstract: The present invention discloses a signal receiver and signal receiving method involving nonlinear detection method for mmWave OTFS systems in high mobility scenarios with non-ideal power amplifier, which is applicable in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond networks. The millimeter wave (mmWave) system is envisioned to be a promising candidate of 5G. However, the high frequency and large bandwidth operation in mmWaves result in nonlinear distortions from the power amplifier in the system. The nonlinearly distorted signals from non-ideal power amplifier when propagate through a wideband high mobility channel tremendously degrades the systems performance. Attributed to the non-ideal power amplifier, the nonlinear distortions induce multiplicative distortions and inter symbol interference (ISI) in the OTFS system. It further causes the posterior probability of the transmitted signal non-Gaussian and analytically intractable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new pilot pattern and channel estimation method involving such pilot for mmWave OTFS systems in high mobility scenarios with non-ideal power amplifier, which is applicable in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond networks. The pilot pattern for communication signal in wireless communications involving mmWave systems with non-ideal power amplifier comprises signal including a pilot signal element, information-bearing symbol and zero as guard, wherein, position of pilot and guard are arranged to combat the effect of inter symbol interference (ISI) from nonlinear impairment of the power amplifier for accurate channel estimation.
