Wireless transmission apparatus and precoding method
First Claim
1. A radio transmission apparatus for transmitting a plurality of spatial multiplexing streams to a radio reception apparatus, the radio transmission apparatus comprising:
- a determining section configured to determine the number of spatial multiplexing streams based on a desired number of multiple paths and the number of receiving antenna ports of the radio reception apparatus, the number of spatial multiplexing streams being a product of the desired number of multiple paths and the number of receiving antenna ports, the desired number of multiple paths being a number of multiple paths by which a received power of each of the plurality of streams satisfies a desired error rate of the plurality of streams in a fixed modulation scheme;
a dividing section configured to divide transmission data into the determined number of spatial multiplexing streams;
a calculating section configured to calculate transmission weights based on the desired number of multiple paths, the determined number of spatial multiplexing streams and a channel estimation value; and
a precoding section configured to perform a precoding on the determined number of streams using the calculated transmission weights.

Abstract
A wireless transmission apparatus able to reliably increase outage capacity according to the state of a propagation path. This apparatus is a wireless transmission apparatus (100) which transmits a plurality of streams to a wireless reception apparatus; wherein a time/space allocation determining unit (107) determines the spatial multiplex stream number based on the desired multipath number and the number of reception antenna ports of the wireless reception apparatus, said desired multipath number being calculated based on the detected multipath number, the number of reception antenna ports, and the desired error rate for the plurality of streams; a stream dividing unit (109) divides the transmission data into a plurality of streams of that spatial multiplex stream number; a transmission weight calculation unit (108) calculates a transmission weight based on the desired multipath number, spatial multiplex stream number, and a channel estimation value; and a time precoding unit (1103) and a spatial precoding unit (111) use the transmission weight to precode the plurality of streams.
