contents In Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation, information symbols are embedded in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain instead of the time-frequency (TF) domain. n order to ensure compatibility with existing OFDM systems (e.g. 4G LTE), most prior work on OTFS receivers consider a two-step conversion, where the received time-domain (TD) signal is firstly converted to a time-frequency (TF) signal (using an OFDM demodulator) followed by post-processing of this TF signal into a DD domain signal. In this paper, we show that the spectral efficiency (SE) performance of a two-step conversion based receiver degrades in very high mobility scenarios where the Doppler shift is a significant fraction of the communication bandwidth (e.g., control and non-payload communication (CNPC) in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)). We therefore consider an alternate conversion, where the received TD signal is directly converted to the DD domain. The resulting received DD domain signal is shown to be not the same as that obtained in the two-step conversion considered in prior works. The alternate conversion does not require an OFDM demodulator and is shown to have lower complexity than the two-step conversion. Analysis and simulations reveal that even in very high mobility scenarios, the SE achieved with the alternate conversion is invariant of Doppler shift and is significantly higher than the SE achieved with two-step conversion (which degrades with increasing Doppler shift).
