Apparatus and method for beamforming in a multi-antenna system

摘要

An apparatus and method for beamforming in a multi-antenna system are provided. The method includes assuming at least one codeword comprised in a codebook as a precoding weight of a reference receive end and generating post-processing weights of at least two receive ends, confirming a codeword maximizing a sum rate using the post-processing weights, generating preceding weights of the receive ends using the codeword maximizing the sum rate, and precoding a transmit signal using the generated precoding weights and transmitting the precoded transmit signal to each receive end.
