Systems and methods for symplectic orthogonal time frequency shifting modulation and transmission of data

TLDR
In this article, the authors present an alternative modulation scheme that maps data symbols intended for data transmission onto a symplectic-like 2D Fourier transform which operates on a form of the original data symbols.
Abstract
An alternative method of data communications using orthogonal time frequency shifting (OTFS) wireless waveforms configured so as to transmit data in a manner that is relatively insensitive to communications channel distortions and frequency shifts. In contrast to prior methods taught by applicant, the present disclosure teaches an alternative modulation scheme that maps data symbols intended for data transmission onto a symplectic-like 2D Fourier transform which operates on a form of the original data symbols. This 2D Fourier transform in turn is passed through a filter bank of narrow band filters, and the output in turn used to modulate transmitted waveforms according to various time slices until the entire 2D Fourier transform has been transmitted. At the receiver, and inverse of this process can be used to both characterize the data channel and correct the received signals for channel distortions, thus receiving a clear form of the original data symbols.
