Time-domain dual component computation diversity based on generalized hybrid carrier

In this paper, the concept of computation diversity is proposed by employing generalized hybrid carrier (GHC) system. The signal is backed up by transform-domain computation to enhance the anti-fading capability. Theoretical analysis is presented to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method. Numerical simulations in doubly-selective fading channels are provided to verify the results. The bit error rate (BER) performance is guaranteed with a small computational complexity increment. The proposed method not only extends the new diversity dimension, but also improves the diversity gain of the system without occupying additional wireless resources. Moreover, the proposed method shows good adaptability with single carrier modulation and improves diversity performance. As the simulation results shown, time-domain dual component computation diversity (TDC-CD) has 1dB BER gain and 0.1 diversity gain at high signal-to-noise ratio, and single carrier system with TDC-CD achieves 2dB BER gain at 10
