Abstract
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication method and apparatus are provided. A MIMO communication apparatus includes a selected beamforming vector determining unit to determine a selected beamforming vector corresponding to a selected user, a performance information generating unit to generate performance information corresponding to where a non-selected beamforming vector is allocated to a non-selected user, and an additional beamforming vector selecting unit to select an additional beamforming vector corresponding to the non-selected user based on the performance information.
