Abstract
Orthogonal Time Frequency and Space (OTFS) is a next-generation two-dimensional modulation technique that operates in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain and provides good resistance against both fading and interference in a high-mobility environment. However, it suffers from a rather high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), causing nonlinear distortion and degrading the signal. This paper proposes a new Tone Reservation Clipping and Windowing (TRCW) technique that is supposed to reduce the challenges associated with PAPR and bit-error rate (BER) in OTFS systems. With reserved tones and clipping using optimized windowing, the proposed method provides minimal distortion in the signal and a significant reduction in PAPR and BER. Simulation results demonstrate that TRCW outperforms conventional clipping methods, enhancing overall system efficiency and signal quality, particularly for 5G, 6G, and IoT applications.
