The present invention provides a downlink resource scheduling method and a transmission end for a multiple-input multiple-output beam-forming (MIMO+BF) system. The transmission end performs the following steps of: dividing subordinate users into user groups according to respective MIMO+BF weights of the subordinate users; generating a scheduling priority coefficient for each of the user groups according to scheduling priority coefficients of respective users in the user group; allocating group resources to the user groups according to the respective scheduling priority coefficients of the user groups; and allocating sub-channel resources of the group resources to each user in the user groups according to the respective scheduling priority coefficients of users in the user groups.
