Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) is a diversity scheme used in

OFDM In telecommunications, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a type of digital transmission and a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies. OFDM has developed into a popular scheme for wideband digital commu ...

-based telecommunication systems, transforming spatial diversity into frequency diversity and thus avoiding

intersymbol interference In telecommunication, intersymbol interference (ISI) is a form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols. This is an unwanted phenomenon as the previous symbols have a similar effect as noise, thus making ...

. CDD was introduced in 2001 and can gain frequency diversity at the receiver without changing the SISO receiver structure. The idea of CDD for OFDM had previously also been submitted as a patent application in September 2000.
