Abstract

In high-speed mobile scenarios, due to the high-speed relative motion between transmitter and receiver, the high Doppler frequency shift interferes with the inter-subcarrier orthogonality in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Therefore its performance is significantly degraded. Recently, orthogonal time–frequency space (OTFS) is considered as an effective alternative scheme to OFDM for time-varying channels. As with OFDM-massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, downlink channel estimation is necessary for OTFS-massive MIMO systems to improve the spectral efficiency in frequency-division duplex (FDD) mode without channel reciprocity. Here, first the cyclic prefix -OFDM-based massive MIMO OTFS system channel with antenna directivity pattern is analyzed, and transform the burst sparsity in the angle domain into block sparsity by using non-uniform Fourier transform (NUFT). Furthermore, to solve the problem that the pilot overhead grows linearly with the number of antennas, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) dynamic support detect (DSD) algorithm. Compared with the traditional OMP algorithm, and the 3D-structured orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, simulation results demonstrate the proposed DSD algorithm has higher channel estimation accuracy, and lower pilot overhead.
