A method of transmitting a plurality of data streams across a MlMO channel from a transmitter to a receiver, the transmitter comprising an array of antennas, the method comprising acquiring channel state information for a plurality of subcarrier frequencies, determining a mapping that defines, for each frequency, how each data stream is to be mapped to each antenna in the array, and for each antenna in the array, adjusting the power allocated to each data stream that is to be transmitted from the antenna, so as to maximise a measure of throughput; wherein for each data stream, the power allocated to transmitting that data stream at each frequency is greater than or equal to zero, and for each frequency, the power transmitted by any one antenna does not exceed a threshold, and for each data stream, the same power is allocated to each subcarrier used for transmitting that data stream. |
