contents We study channel parameter estimation for multiuser orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) systems in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain. To enable structured parametric estimation, we adopt a multi-user pilot cyclic prefix (MU-PCP) design, which multiplexes users along the Doppler dimension while preserving a separable exponential structure. This structure facilitates high-resolution estimation of fractional delay and Doppler parameters in the multiuser setting. Building on this framework, we extend weighted MUSIC (W-MUSIC) to multiuser OTFS, providing a computationally efficient approach with mild grid dependency, and develop a matrix pencil (MP)-based method that achieves fully grid-independent delay-Doppler parameter estimation. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods and reveal a robustness-complexity tradeoff: W-MUSIC performs better at low SNR, while MP achieves higher estimation accuracy at moderate-to-high SNR with significantly lower computational complexity.
