摘要

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is a candidate for low-density high-mobility communication (LDHMC) use case in sixth generation (6G) due to its robustness against Doppler effects. This paper presents a low-complexity channel estimation method based on the A&M frequency estimation algorithm, enabling precise recovery of fractional delay, Doppler, and gain. We show that conventional virtual tap-based methods are inadequate for detection, while sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)-based off-grid approaches, though precise, are computationally intensive. To bridge this gap, we propose a method that combines precision with efficiency, eliminating the trade-off between accuracy and complexity. Its effectiveness is validated through MATLAB simulations and real-time implementation on an Ettus USRP B210 SDR platform.
