Performance Analysis of OTSM under Hardware Impairments in Millimeter-Wave Vehicular Communication Networks
Orthogonal time sequency multiplexing (OTSM) has been recently proposed as a
single-carrier (SC) waveform offering similar bit error rate (BER) to
multi-carrier orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation in
doubly-spread channels under high mobilities; however, with much lower
complexity making OTSM a promising candidate for low-power millimeter-wave
(mmWave) vehicular communications in 6G wireless networks. In this paper, the
performance of OTSM-based homodyne transceiver is explored under hardware
impairments (HIs) including in-phase and quadrature imbalance (IQI), direct
current offset (DCO), phase noise, power amplifier non-linearity, carrier
frequency offset, and synchronization timing offset. First, the discrete-time
baseband signal model is obtained in vector form under the mentioned HIs. Then,
the system input-output relations are derived in time, delay-time, and
delay-sequency (DS) domains in which the parameters of HIs are incorporated.
Analytical studies demonstrate that noise stays white Gaussian and effective
channel matrix is sparse in the DS domain under HIs. Also, DCO appears as a DC
signal at receiver interfering with only the zero sequency over all delay taps
in the DS domain; however, IQI redounds to self-conjugated fully-overlapping
sequency interference. Simulation results reveal the fact that with no HI
compensation (HIC), not only OTSM outperforms plain SC waveform but it performs
close to uncompensated OTFS system; however, HIC is essentially needed for OTSM
systems operating in mmWave and beyond frequency bands
