Low-complexity MRC Receiver Algorithm Based on OTFS System
-
摘要: 正交时频空(OTFS)因其在高速移动场景下优异的误码率性能而受到广泛研究。针对OTFS接收机运算复杂度较高问题，该文提出一种基于最大比合并(MRC)的低复杂度接收机算法。首先，其核心思想在时延多普勒域利用最大比合并算法进行迭代，对接收的多径分量进行提取和相干组合，以提高组合信号的信噪比。其次，通过引入交织器和解交织器，信道矩阵转化为稀疏的上三角海森伯矩阵，有利于后续进行矩阵分解。再次，针对符号决策过程中矩阵求逆计算量大的问题，提出一种低复杂度的LDLH分解算法。最后，在此基础上进一步改进，提出了一种复杂度进一步降低的下三角矩阵求逆算法，以降低下三角矩阵求逆的复杂度。仿真结果表明，一方面该算法误码率与最大比合并算法相同，另一方面性能显著优于高阶调制的线性最小均方误差估计(LMMSE)线性均衡器与高斯−赛德尔(GS)迭代均衡算法。Abstract:
Objective Ultra-high-speed mobile applications—such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), high-speed railways, satellite communications, and vehicular networks—place increasing demands on communication systems, particularly under high-Doppler conditions. Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation offers advantages in such environments due to its robustness against Doppler effects. However, conventional receiver algorithms rely on computationally intensive matrix operations, which limit their efficiency and degrade real-time performance in high-mobility scenarios. This paper proposes a low-complexity Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) receiver for OTFS systems that avoids matrix inversion by exploiting the structural characteristics of OTFS channel matrices in the Delay-Doppler (DD) domain. The proposed receiver achieves high detection performance while substantially reducing computational complexity, supporting practical deployment in ultra-high-speed mobile communication systems. Methods The proposed low-complexity receiver algorithm applies MRC in the DD domain to iteratively extract and coherently combine multipath components. This approach enhances Bit Error Rate (BER) performance by optimizing signal aggregation while avoiding computationally intensive operations. To further reduce complexity, the algorithm incorporates interleaving and deinterleaving operations that restructure the channel matrix into a sparse upper triangular Heisenberg form. This transformation enables efficient matrix decomposition and facilitates simplified processing. To address the computational burden associated with matrix inversion during symbol detection, a low-complexity LDL decomposition algorithm is introduced. Compared with conventional matrix inversion techniques, this method substantially reduces computational overhead. Furthermore, a low-complexity inversion method for lower triangular matrices is implemented to further improve efficiency during the decision process. Simulation results confirm that the proposed receiver achieves BER performance comparable to that of traditional MRC algorithms while significantly lowering computational complexity. Results and Discussions Simulation results confirm that the proposed low-complexity MRC receiver achieves BER performance comparable to that of conventional MRC receivers while substantially improving computational efficiency under high-mobility conditions ( Fig. 3 ). The algorithm is evaluated across a range of environments, including scenarios characterized by high-speed motion and complex multipath interference. It outperforms Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) equalizers and Gauss–Seidel iterative equalization algorithms. Despite its reduced complexity, the proposed receiver maintains the same BER performance as traditional MRC methods. The algorithm demonstrates effective scalability as the number of symbols and subcarriers increases. Under conditions of increased system complexity, the receiver sustains computational efficiency without performance degradation (Fig. 4 ,Fig. 5 ). These results support its suitability for practical deployment in high-speed mobile communication systems employing OTFS modulation. The receiver also exhibits strong resilience to variations in wireless channel models. Across both typical urban multipath scenarios and high-velocity vehicular conditions, it maintains stable BER performance (Fig. 8 ). In addition, the receiver demonstrates robust tolerance to Doppler shift fluctuations and variable noise levels. These characteristics enable its application in dynamic environments with rapidly changing channel conditions. The algorithm’s efficiency and performance stability make it particularly well suited for real-time implementation in ultra-high-mobility networks, including UAV systems, high-speed rail communications, and other next-generation wireless platforms. By reducing computational complexity without compromising detection accuracy, the proposed receiver supports large-scale deployment of OTFS-based systems, addressing key performance and scalability challenges in emerging communication infrastructures.Conclusions This study proposes a low-complexity MRC receiver algorithm for OTFS systems. By introducing an interleaver and deinterleaver, the channel matrix is transformed into a sparse upper triangular form, enabling efficient inversion with reduced computational cost. In addition, the receiver integrates a low-complexity LDL decomposition algorithm and an upper triangular matrix inversion method to further minimize the computational burden associated with matrix operations. Simulation results confirm that the proposed receiver achieves equivalent BER performance to conventional MRC receivers. Moreover, under identical channel conditions, it demonstrates superior BER performance relative to linear receivers. -
