Abstract
Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) waveform based millimeter wave (mmWave) MIMO systems are capable of achieving high data rates in high-mobility scenarios. Hence, transceivers are designed for both analog beamforming (AB) and hybrid beamforming (HB), where we commence by deriving the delay-Doppler (DD)-domain input-output relationship considering a delay-Doppler-angular domain channel model. Subsequently, a novel two-stage procedure is developed for transmit beamformer (TBF)/ precoder (TPC) and receiver combiner (RC) design, and for estimating the DD-domain’s equivalent channel state information (CSI). The key feature of the proposed framework is that the RF TBF/ TPC and RC design maximizes the directional beamforming gains. It is also demonstrated that the low-dimensional baseband CSI of the DD-domain becomes sparse for mmWave-AB MIMO OTFS systems, and block-sparse for mmWave-HB MIMO OTFS systems. Subsequently, Bayesian learning (BL) and block-sparse BL (BS-BL) solutions are developed for improved CSI estimation. We also derive the Bayesian Cramer-Rao lower bounds (BCRLB) for benchmarking the mean-squared-error (MSE) of the CSI estimates. Finally, our simulation results demonstrate the improved efficacy of the proposed transceiver designs and confirm the enhanced CSI estimation performance of the BL-based schemes over other competing sparse signal recovery schemes.
