contents In this paper, we perform a comparative study of common wireless communication waveforms, namely the single carrier (SC), orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), and orthogonal time-frequency-space (OTFS) modulation in a millimeter wave (mmWave) downlink multi-connectivity scenario, where multiple access points (APs) jointly serve a given user under imperfect time and frequency synchronization errors. For a fair comparison, all the three waveforms are evaluated using variants of common frequency domain equalization (FDE). To this end, a novel cross domain iterative detection for OTFS is proposed. The performance of the different waveforms is evaluated numerically in terms of pragmatic capacity. The numerical results show that OTFS significantly outperforms SC and OFDM at cost of reasonably increased complexity, because of the low cyclic-prefix (CP) overhead and the effectiveness of the proposed detection.
