				- Abstract
 
				- The present invention relates to a beamforming method and apparatus. A beamforming method for use in a base station for transmitting a plurality of streams through a plurality of antennas includes: receiving feedback information including information on a first codeword selected from a codebook including a plurality of codewords from each of a plurality of user terminals; grouping the plurality of user terminals by use of the feedback information from each user terminal; determining a user terminal to which a plurality of streams will be assigned of the plurality of user terminals, and determining a second codeword to be used for beamforming from the codebook by use of the feedback information of each user terminal and grouping information; and multiplying data to be transmitted through the plurality of steams by the second codeword and a unitary matrix.
