# Algebraic space-time codes based on division algebras with a unitary involution

• In this paper, we focus on the design of unitary space-time codes achieving full diversity using division algebras, and on the systematic computation of their minimum determinant. We also give examples of such codes with high minimum determinant. Division algebras allow to obtain higher rates than known constructions based on finite groups.
