The present invention relates to a transmission beamforming method and apparatus in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based MIMO wireless system. In particular, the present invention relates to a transmission beamforming method in an OFDM-based MIMO wireless system and an apparatus therefor, wherein the transmission beamforming method comprises: estimating a channel from a received pilot signal and obtaining time for the estimating channel and 2D channel correlation information of a frequency band; obtaining estimated channel information based on the channel correlation information; obtaining differential information that represents a difference between the current channel and the estimated channel and quantizing the differential information; and generating a transmission beam weight by using a predefined code book from the quantized differential information. The present invention may also provide a method and apparatus for reducing the channel quantization error and feedback load by employing the OFDM-based MIMO in a wireless communication system using a transmission beamforming scheme, wherein a receiver estimates current channel information by using time and 2D channel correlation information of a frequency based on the previous channel information, compares the estimated current channel information with an actual channel and then feeds back the differential channel information, i.e., the difference between the estimated channel and the actual channel, to a transmitter.
