The present invention relates to the field of information communication and control, and discloses a method and an apparatus for adjusting transmit power and used to resolve a problem of interference between paths in a multipath system. The method provided by the present invention specifically includes: determining a path with worst signal quality according to signal quality information of each path; then, increasing transmit power of the path, or, decreasing transmit power of at least one path that produces strongest interference to the path with the worst signal quality; and finally, using a manner of cyclically adjusting signal transmit power to enable interference between the paths to meet a requirement of not affecting communications quality, thereby resolving a problem of interference between paths in a multipath system. Embodiments of the present invention are mainly used in a data transmission process in a multipath system.
