Line 8:

STC may be further subdivided according to whether the receiver knows the [[channel (communications)|channel]] impairments. In [[coherent space-time code|coherent STC]], the receiver knows the channel impairments through training or some other form of estimation. These codes have been studied more widely, and [[division algebras]]<ref name="divalg">{{cite journal|author=B.A. Sethuraman, B. Sundar Rajan, and V.

In [[noncoherent STC]] the receiver does not know the channel impairments but knows the statistics of the channel.<ref name="hm">{{cite journal|author=Marzetta, T.L. and Hochwald, B.M.|title=Capacity of a mobile multiple-antenna communication link in Rayleigh flat fading|journal=IEEE Transactions ofon Information Theory|date=January 1999|volume=45|issue=1|pages=139–157|doi=10.1109/18.746779}}</ref> In [[differential space–time code]]s neither the channel nor the statistics of the channel are available.<ref name="jsac">{{cite journal|author=V.
