contents Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM) and orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) are two promising advanced waveforms proposed for reliable communications in high-mobility scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a simple transmit diversity technique, termed cyclic delay-Doppler shift (CDDS), for these two advanced waveforms to achieve ultra-reliable communications in doubly selective channels (DSCs). Two simple CDDS schemes, named modulation-domain CDDS (MD-CDDS) and time-domain CDDS (TD-CDDS), are proposed, which perform CDDS in advance at the transmitter before and after the modulation, respectively. We demonstrate that both of the two proposed CDDS schemes can be implemented efficiently and flexibly by multiplying the transmit vector with a well-designed precoding matrix, which is nothing but a sparse phase-compensated permutation matrix. Moreover, we theoretically and numerically prove that CDDS can provide MIMO-AFDM and MIMO-OTFS with optimal transmit diversity gain when a proper CDDS step is adopted. Compared to the conventional transmit diversity techniques, the proposed CDDS scheme enjoys the advantages of lower channel estimation overhead, implementation complexity, and signal processing latency, making it particularly suitable for ultra-reliable communications in high-mobility scenarios.
