Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been the waveform of choice for most wireless communications systems in the past 25 years. This book addresses the "what comes next?� question by presenting the recently proposed waveform known as Orthogonal Time-Frequency-Space (OTFS), which offers a better alternative for high-mobility environments.

The OTFS waveform is based on the idea that the mobile wireless channels can be effectively modelled in the delay-Doppler domain. This domain provides a sparse representation closely resembling the physical geometry of the wireless channel. The key physical parameters such as relative velocity and distance of the reflectors with respect to the receiver can be considered roughly invariant in the duration of a frame up to a few milliseconds. This enables the information symbols encoded in the delay-Doppler domain to experience a flat fading channel even when they are affected by multiple Doppler shifts present in high-mobility environments.

Delay-Doppler Communications: Principles and Applications covers the fundamental concepts and the underlying principles of delay-Doppler communications. Readers familiar with OFDM will be able to quickly understand the key differences in delay-Doppler domain waveforms that can overcome some of the challenges of high-mobility communications. For the broader readership with a basic knowledge of wireless communications principles, the book provides sufficient background to be self-contained. The book provides a general overview of future research directions and discusses a range of applications of delay-Doppler domain signal processing.

This is the first book on delay-Doppler communications It is written by three of the leading authorities in the field It includes a wide range of applications

With this book, the reader will be able to:

Recognize the challenges of high-mobility channels affected by both multipath and multiple Doppler shifts in physical layer waveform design and performance Understand the limitations of current multicarrier techniques such as OFDM in high-mobility channels Recognize the mathematical and physical relations between the different domains for representing channels and waveforms: time-frequency, time-delay, delay-Doppler Understand the operation of the key blocks of a delay-Doppler modulator and demodulator�both analytically and by hands-on MATLAB examples Master the special features and advantages of OTFS with regard to detection, channel estimation, MIMO, and multiuser MIMO Realize the importance�of delay-Doppler communications for current and future applications, e.g., 6G and beyond

Understand a cutting-edge new class of error correction codes with this introduction Channel coding is a pivotal technique employed to account for potential errors due to channel noise or interference by adding layers of redundancy to information prior to transmission or storage. Should errors appear in the transmitted sequence upon reaching its destination, they can be corrected with reference to the redundant layers. Polar codes are a new class of error correction codes that provably achieve the capacity of binary discrete memoryless channels. Their distinct advantages have led to their incorporation in the logical control channels of the fifth generation of wireless communications (5G). Possessing robust and competitive error correction capabilities for short and medium-length codes positions them strategically to fulfill a pivotal role in various communication systems as we move towards the sixth generation of wireless communication (6G) and beyond. Polar Codes provides a thorough, accessible overview of this new class of codes and its applications. Beginning with the foundational theories underlying polar codes, it guides readers through the construction of polar codes, their variants, and their encoding and decoding processes. The result is a must-have for coding researchers and professionals looking to develop an edge in the wireless communications of the future. Polar Codes readers will also find: Continuous connections between discussed concepts and current 5G standardsSnippets of code in MATLAB/Python to illustrate key toolsEnd of chapter problems and bibliographical notes to facilitate learning and provide references for further reading.Polar Codes is ideal for graduate students and researchers in coding and information theory, as well as engineers working in communications and related industries.

This book provides a first course on lattices – mathematical objects pertaining to the realm of discrete geometry, which are of interest to mathematicians for their structure and, at the same time, are used by electrical and computer engineers working on coding theory and cryptography. The book presents both fundamental concepts and a wealth of applications, including coding and transmission over Gaussian channels, techniques for obtaining lattices from finite prime fields and quadratic fields, constructions of spherical codes, and hard lattice problems used in cryptography. The topics selected are covered in a level of detail not usually found in reference books. As the range of applications of lattices continues to grow, this work will appeal to mathematicians, electrical and computer engineers, and graduate or advanced undergraduate in these fields.
