OTFS
Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a next-generation modulation scheme that spreads data across both time and frequency using the delay-Doppler domain. Unlike OFDM, OTFS maintains performance at very high speeds (500+ km/h), making it ideal for vehicular communication, drones, and high-speed trains. It is a strong candidate for 6G air interface design.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation scheme used in 4G LTE and 5G NR. It splits a wideband signal into many narrow orthogonal subcarriers, making it resilient to multipath interference
Millimeter wave (mmWave) refers to radio frequencies between 24 and 100 GHz, characterized by short wavelengths (1–10 mm). In 5G, mmWave enables high-capacity urban hotspots with speeds exceeding 1 Gbps
