Abstract

A disclosed radio communication apparatus includes a preceding unit configured to precode multiple streams, a splitting unit configured to split the precoded streams into two or more stream sets each including one or more streams, a sub power optimization unit configured to execute an iterative transmit power optimization algorithm on each of the split stream sets to determine respective transmit power levels for the individual stream sets, a power optimization unit configured to execute the iterative transmit power optimization algorithm by using the determined transmit power levels as initial values for the iterative transmit power optimization algorithm to determine respective transmit power levels for the individual streams, and a transmission unit configured to transmit radio signals from individual transmit antennas at the determined transmit power levels.
