In OFDMA systems, cyclic delay diversity can improve the system performance due to diversity effects. However, applying cyclic delay diversity to block-hopping SC-FDMA systems can affect the performance in two contrary ways: positive effect due to increased frequency diversity and negative effect caused by increased frequency selectivity. Hence, the delay value for cyclic delay diversity should be carefully selected to maximize the system performance. This paper discusses these two contrary effects and proposes a method of determining the delay value of cyclic delay diversity for block-hopping SC-FDMA systems.

This paper describes a simple delay diversity technique for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and digital audio broadcasting in a single-frequency network (SFN). For the diversity technique, a delay diversity scheme is adopted. In the delay diversity scheme, a non-delayed signal is transmitted in the first antenna, and delayed versions of the signal are transmitted in each additional antenna. For an SFN environment with multiple transmitters, delay diversity can be executed by controlling the emission times of the transmitters. This SFN delay diversity scheme does not require any hardware changes in either the transmitter or receiver, and perfect backward compatibility can be acquired. To evaluate the performance improvement, laboratory tests are executed with various types of commercial T-DMB receivers as well as a measurement receiver. The improvement in the bit error rate performance is evaluated using a measurement receiver, and an improvement of the threshold of visibility value is evaluated for commercial receivers. Test results show that the T-DMB system can obtain diversity gain using the described technique.

In this paper, we propose a method to determine the optimal cyclic delay value of cyclic delay diversity(CDD) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems. As the cyclic delay value increases, we can get signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) gain by diversity effect, while SINR loss increases because of channel estimation errors. If the optimal delay value obtained by the proposed method is applied to CDD scheme, we can minimize the required SINR for a given FER(frame error rate) under the above mentioned trade-off.

In this paper, we propose a new transmit diversity scheme using window functions in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Transmit diversity of the scheme is varied with window functions and the condition of the window function to maximize transmit diversity is derived. The proposed scheme can be considered as a generalization of the diversity schemes such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD), orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD), and frequency switched transmit diversity (FSTD).

This paper compares the performances with space time coding and cyclic delay diversity techniques for OFDM systems in interference-limited environments. While a communication system usually use a diversity technique to improve its own performance, it is also necessary to consider the interference effects to other users as well if the system is operated in interference-limited environments. When there is no interference from or to other users, space time coding technique results in better performance than cyclic delay diversity. However, cyclic delay diversity can be better than space time coding if interferences to other users are considered.

This paper proposes a technology for performance enhancement of cyclic delay diversity OFDM system using frequency diversity. The frequency diversity in an OFDM system can be done as repetitive transmission of the same symbol on uncorrelated subcarrier, this makes modulation level larger according to the number of repetitive transmission for the comparison with the traditional transmission system. This technique, like cyclic delay diversity, has a benefit which it does not need any special subsidiary hardware irrespective of the increase of the number of transmitter. For the performance comparison, we simulate the proposed algorithm in multiple input single out channel environment, it shows a better performance enhancement in low dense modulation level in comparison with the traditional cyclic delay diversity OFDM system.

Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) is a diversity scheme used in OFDM-based telecommunication systems, transforming spatial diversity into frequency diversity and thus avoiding intersymbol interference without entailing the receiver to be aware of the transmission strategy making the signal more reliable achieving full diversity gain in cooperative systems. Here the analyzation of the influence of CDD-SC scheme in Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is done with the challenge of overcoming the complication called channel estimation along with overhead in CNR. More specifically, the closed-form expressions for outage probability and symbol error rate are divided under different frequencies among independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) frequency selective fading channel model i.e., the signal is divided into different frequencies and transmitted among several narrow band channels of different characteristics. It is useful in the reduction of interference and crosstalk. The results reveal the diversity order of the proposed system to be mainly affected by the number of multipath components that are available in the CNR.

In distributed-allocation OFDMA systems, cyclic delay diversify can improve the system performance by increasing frequency diversity. However, applying cyclic delay diversify to distributed-allocation SC-FDMA systems can affect the performance in two contrary ways: positive effect due to increased frequency diversity and negative effect caused by increased frequency selective channels. This paper addresses these two contrary effects and discusses about when cyclic delay diversity is useful and when it is not very useful for distributed-allocation SC-FDMA systems.

This paper compares the performances of cyclic delay diversity and phase rolling techniques for SC-FDE(Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization) systems with multiple transmit antennas assuming time-flat and frequency-flat channels. In OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems generation of time varying channels using phase rolling can result in performance gains comparable to those of frequency-selective channels made by cyclic delay diversity However, in SC-FDE systems making time-selective channels may produce better results than creation of frequency-selective channels.

Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) is considered as a simple approach to exploit the frequency diversity in OFDM system. In this paper, we apply CDD to the conventional STBC/SFBC/STFBC-OFDM transmit diversity schemes for Rayleigh fading channels. We compare the performances of STBC/SFBC/STFBC with and without CDD schemes. Simulation results show that the combination of block coding with CDD works well when using the ITU-R M. 1225 channel for both Pedestrian A (Ped A) channel with the mobility of 3 km/h, and Vehicular A (Veh A) channel with the mobility of 120km/h. For a BER of $10^{-3}$, compared to the conventional block coding schemes, a gain of 2dB, 4dB, and 5dB is obtained under the Ped A channel environment by STBC-OFDM, SFBC-OFDM and STFBC-OFDM with CDD, respectively Under the Veh A channel. gains by the combined schemes are 6dB, 2dB, and 4dB, respectivcly.
