New algebraic constructions of rotated Z/sup n/-lattice constellations for the Rayleigh fading channel

In this correspondence, we present various families of full diversity rotated Z/sup n/-lattice constellations based on algebraic number theory constructions. We are able to give closed-form expressions of their minimum product distance using the corresponding algebraic properties.
