Abstract

A radio communication system that performs MIMO transmission. The radio communication system includes a precoding unit that precodes multi-streams of transmission signals in a time domain; a plurality of transmission power control units that controls transmission power of each multi-stream precoded by the precoding unit. Further, there is a plurality of amplification units that amplifies each multi-stream precoded by the precoding unit in accordance with control of the plurality of transmission power control units; and a number-of-taps control unit that performs control to change the number of taps of the precoding unit to improve communication quality of the multi-streams on the basis of quality information of a received signal fed back from a reception device that has received the multi-stream amplified by each of the plurality of amplification units.
