Abstract:
1. A communication apparatus configured to transmit a plurality of data streams including at least a first stream and a second stream, the communication apparatus comprising: a resource block allocation determiner configured to determine an allocation of resource blocks to be used when transmitting the first and second streams; and a control information determiner configured to determine control information regarding data transmission on at least the first stream, on the basis of the overload ratio of resource blocks in the first and second streams, wherein in the case where one of at least a modulation scheme or a coding rate is different between the first stream and the second stream, a transmit power is allocated to a stream having low spectrum efficiency, and said first and second streams are transmitted on the basis of said determined control information, wherein the control information is modulation scheme information, the control information additionally includes transmit power information, and in the control information determiner, the transmit power information is determined such that the transmit power increases for streams having a modulation scheme with lower spectral efficiency as indicated by the modulation scheme information.
