原文：
背景：Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation can better handle Doppler shift and delay issues, which is a promising modulation method in future high-mobility scenarios. In the OTFS modulation system, the channel is expressed as a constant channel by delay information and Doppler information, which poses a huge challenge to OTFS transmission based on delay-Doppler domain channel estimation. 面临问题：The accuracy of the Doppler axes is not high enough, resulting in fractional Doppler parameters in most cases, which will cause great trouble to OTFS transmission and channel estimation. 本文方法：To solve this problem, we proposed a Doppler zero-insert extension scheme. In the delayed-Doppler domain, the signal is zero-inserted and extended in the Doppler direction to increase the total transmission time, thereby improving the accuracy of the Doppler axes direction. According to the extended received signal, channel estimation can be performed on the original fractional Doppler channel. 仿真结果：We proved the feasibility of the proposed scheme for fractional Doppler channel detection through theoretical derivation, and obtained the performance improvement brought by the proposed scheme by analyzing the effect of converting fractional Doppler to integer Doppler. Finally, a relatively appropriate expansion parameter is selected through simulation, and the simulation results demonstrate the effective detection of our proposed scheme for fractional Doppler situations.

考虑分数多普勒的多普勒插0扩展的OTFS调制 摘要：OTFS调制由于可以更好地处理多普勒频移和时延问题，成为未来高移动性场景下的理想调制方法。在OTFS调制系统中，信道的时延和多普勒信息被表示成恒定值，这给基于时延-多普勒域信道估计的OTFS传输问题带来的巨大挑战。由于多普勒轴的精确性不够高，使得在大多数场景中出现了分数多普勒的问题，这一问题为OTFS传输和信道估计方面带来挑战。为解决这一问题，提出了一个多普勒插零的扩展方案。在时延-多普勒域中，信号通过插零在多普勒维度上进行扩展以增加总的传输时间，从而增加了多普勒轴方向上的精确性。根据接收到的扩展信号，可以使用原始的分数多普勒信道进行信道估计。我们通过理论推导证明了所提方案的可行性，通过分析从分数多普勒到整数多普勒的影响获得了所提出方案的性能提升。最后，通过仿真实验选定了一个合适的扩展参数，仿真结果表明所提方案在分数多普勒问题中的有效性。

总结：论文针对分数多普勒精度不够高的问题，提出了一个通过补零的解决方案，初步来看值得精读。

原文：
内容概括：This letter presents an early investigation of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-aided orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) in high-Doppler channels. 算法细节：We derive the end-to-end delay-Doppler (DD) domain input-output relation of a RIS-aided OTFS system, considering rectangular pulses and fractional delay-Doppler values. We also consider a Zak receiver for RIS-aided OTFS that converts the received time-domain signal to DD domain in one step using Zak transform, and derive its end-to-end input-output relation. Our simulation results show that i ) RIS-aided OTFS performs better than OTFS without RIS, ii ) Zak receiver performs better than a two-step receiver, and iii ) RIS-aided OTFS achieves superior performance compared to RIS-aided OFDM.

问题背景：In this paper, we consider an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation |based single input single output (SISO) radar |for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) |where the transmitter sends OTFS frames |and the radar receiver co-located with the transmitter leverages the transmit frame along with the reflected signal |for the estimation of the target range and velocity. 本文算法：We present a novel radar channel model| that is capable of capturing both integer as well as fractional delays and Doppler shifts accounted for by the targets in the channel. 算法细节：A two-step modified orthogonal matching pursuit with fractional refinement (OMPFR) algorithm is also proposed to estimate the delays and Doppler shifts that can be non-integer multiples of the system delay and Doppler resolutions respectively. 仿真结果：We show that our algorithm has much lower complexity than the traditional orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm if used in estimating the fractional delays and Dopplers, as the latter requires a colossal dictionary matrix. Target profiles and the root mean square error (RMSE) plots for range and velocity estimates validate the effectiveness of the proposed OMPFR algorithm.
