Abstract

The invention discloses a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicasting beamforming method, which is characterized by comprising the following steps of: adopting iterative search with adjustable step length; decomposing a channel matrix corresponding to a user with the worst signal to noise ratio in a group by utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) in the process of each step of iteration, and acquiring a maximum right singular vector of the channel matrix; and approaching a beamforming vector to the direction of the maximum right singular vector gradually. Compared with the conventional single data rate (SDR) randomization method, the method has the advantages that: the beamforming vector acquired by the method can increase channel capacity effectively and have lower operation complexity simultaneously. Moreover, as the number of transmitting antennae configured in a base station end is increased and the number of the users in the group is increased, the method provided by the invention has the more obvious performance advantages and is applicable for implementation in new generation MIMO broadband wireless and mobile communication systems of 802.11n, time division high speed packet access + (TD-HSPA+) and time division long term evolution (TD-LTE).
