Abstract

A method which includes receiving a first modulated signal from a first user device, the first modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data. The method further includes receiving a second modulated signal from a second user device, the second modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data. The first modulated signal and the second modulated signal are then processed.

Claims (30)

1. A method, comprising:

wirelessly receiving a first modulated signal from a first user device, the first modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first transmission interval of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency;

wirelessly receiving a second modulated signal from a second user device, the second modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a different transmission interval of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

processing the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.

2. A method, comprising:

wirelessly receiving a first modulated signal from a first user device, the first modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first frequency band of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency;

wirelessly receiving a second modulated signal from a second user device, the second modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a different frequency band of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

processing the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.

3. A method, comprising:

wirelessly receiving a first modulated signal from a first user device, the first modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first area of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency;

wirelessly receiving a second modulated signal from a second user device, the second modulated signal being generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a second area of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

processing the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.

4. A wireless device comprising:

an antenna;

a receiver coupled to the antenna, the receiver being configured to:

receive a first modulated wireless signal from a first user device wherein the first modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first transmission interval of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency, and

receive a second modulated wireless signal from a second user device wherein the second modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a different transmission interval of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

a processor in communication with the receiver, the processor being configured to process the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.

5. A wireless device comprising:

an antenna;

a receiver coupled to the antenna, the receiver being configured to:

receive a first modulated wireless signal from a first user device wherein the first modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first frequency band of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency, and

receive a second modulated wireless signal from a second user device wherein the second modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a different frequency band of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

a processor in communication with the receiver, the processor being configured to process the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.

6. A wireless device comprising:

an antenna;

a receiver coupled to the antenna, the receiver being configured to:

receive a first modulated wireless signal from a first user device wherein the first modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of first user data wherein the first user data is associated with a first area of an orthonormal time frequency shifting (OTFS) transmission matrix having dimensions of time and frequency, and

receive a second modulated wireless signal from a second user device wherein the second modulated wireless signal is generated based upon a time-frequency transformation of second user data wherein the second user data is associated with a second area of the OTFS transmission matrix; and

a processor in communication with the receiver, the processor being configured to process the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal.
