Radio communication apparatus and radio communication method

1. A radio communication apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive first data and second data, which are transmitted from a plurality of antennas for spatial-multiplexing using a plurality of blocks, into which a plurality of consecutive subcarriers in a frequency domain are divided;
  
  a calculating unit configured to calculate a first absolute channel quality indicator (CQI) value per each of the blocks for the first data and a second absolute CQI value per each of the blocks for the second data, and calculate a relative CQI value of the second absolute CQI value with respect to the first absolute CQI value, per each of the blocks, from the first absolute CQI value and the second absolute CQI value in the same block; and
  
  a transmitting unit configured to transmit the first absolute CQI value and the relative CQI value of the second absolute CQI value in the same block,wherein the relative CQI value of the second absolute CQI value in the first block of the plurality of blocks for the second data is calculated with respect to the first absolute CQI value in the first block of the plurality of blocks for the first data, and the relative CQI value of the second absolute CQI value in the second block of the plurality of blocks for the second data is calculated with respect to the first absolute CQI value in the second block of the plurality of blocks for the first data.
