Transmission techniques over delay-doppler channels

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a transmitting device may send transmissions using a first numerology for a first type of user equipment (UE). The transmitting device may partition a stream of modulated data symbol tones into one or more contiguous subsets of modulated data symbol tones that result in a roughly frequency-flat channel for a second type of UE. The transmitting device may then perform precoding on individual subsets of the one or more contiguous subsets of modulated data symbol tones, and may insert a frequency-domain cyclic prefix, cyclic postfix, or guard interval after each precoded subset. Thus, the first type of UE may communicate using the first numerology and the second type of UE may communicate using the first numerology but with the frequency-domain cyclic prefixes to address doppler spread experienced by the second type of UE.
