Abstract: 5G standard uses millimeter wave band to realize communication. In order to cover more reasonable in 5G communication
system, beamforming technology must be adopted. To speed up the convergence, a novel algorithm based on the SWO criterion is
proposed which can be applied in millimeter wave communication. The simulation results show that compared with other beamform-
ing algorithms, the proposed algorithm can achieve higher convergence speed and is more realizable.
