Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space-Time Coding provides a tutorial introduction to the algebraic tools involved in the design of codes based on division algebras. The different design criteria involved are illustrated, including the constellation shaping, the information lossless property, the non-vanishing determinant property and the diversity multiplexing tradeoff. Finally complete mathematical background underlying the construction of the Golden code and the other Perfect Space-Time block codes is given.
