Abstract

A disclosed radio communication method includes precoding modulated information signal sequences to calculate transmit weight information, setting initial transmit power based on prior information including the calculated transmit weight information, generating an objective function of a user channel capacity for a constrained optimization problem based on the transmit weight information and the initial transmit power, generating a new objective function by adding a barrier function to the objective function, using an initial temporary barrier parameter to initiate iteration of an optimization operation for the new objective function, setting an initial barrier parameter based on comparison between the current and previous outputs, calculating transmit power to optimize the new objective function in accordance with an interior point method based on the initial transmit power and the initial barrier parameter and allocating the calculated transmit power to the respective transmit antennas.
