A low-complexity standard transmit diversity scheme for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frameworks is cyclic delay diversity (CDD). As the cyclic delay esteem expands the diversity effect also increases. However, the channel estimation turns out to be more troublesome because of increased frequency selectivity as the increased cyclic delay value. In this paper we discussed about dissimilar channel estimation schemes and to conclude we proposed a novel pilot-aided channel estimation scheme for CDD to estimate the channel in an enhanced way. Our scheme estimates each channel separately and achieves significant performance improvement.
