**ABSTRACT**
**Traditional carrier waveforms are not suited for new 6G usage scenarios like ubiquitous connectivity, AI and communication, and Integrated Communication and Sensing.**

**This is primarily because most carrier waveforms are either localized in time (time-domain pulses in 2G/3G) or in frequency (sinusoids as in 4G/5G). New 6G scenarios demand high throughput reliable communication and accurate sensing in doubly-spread channels which induce delay and Doppler shifts to the carrier waveforms.**

**The channel interaction of carriers which are localized in either time or frequency is both time-selective and frequency-selective which severely degrades performance when delay and Doppler spread are high.**

**Therefore, the carrier waveform ideally suited for doublyspread channels is one which is simultaneously localized in both time and frequency. Such waveforms do not exist due to the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.**

**In our pioneering work, we however avoid this obstruction by designing a carrier waveform called a pulsone whose time and frequency realizations are both periodic pulse train modulated by a sinusoid.**

**A pulsone is therefore localized within a finite interval in both time and frequency, i.e., quasi-localized as the interval is finite. In this talk we present our work based on signal representation in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain which gives rise to pulsones.**

**The DD domain representation of any timedomain/frequency-domain signal is given by its Zak transform. Pulsones are simply quasiperiodic pulses in the DD domain whose interaction with a doubly-spread channel is stationary and non-fading when the pulse period along the delay axis is greater than the channel delay spread and the pulse period along the Doppler axis is greater than the channel Doppler spread, a condition we refer to as the crystallization condition.**

**In Zak-OTFS modulation, information is carried by pulses in the DD domain. Due to the stationary inputoutput (I/O) relation of Zak-OTFS modulation, the effective DD domain channel can be acquired/estimated with negligible overhead, and the performance is robust to channel delay and Doppler spread.**
