The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for implementing multi-cell precoding. Users can be divided into center users and edge users according to areas, and the divided center users and edge users are processed by adopting different precoding methods. The method and apparatus of the present invention make the users located at the edge of the cell cluster and in the center of the cell cluster can be distinguished to be processed, thereby greatly optimizing and improving the rate of the entire multi-cell MIMO system; and make the interference received by the target user at users of the multi-cell edge has a clear definition and a measurement method. The aforementioned characteristics can guarantee to achieve an effective suppression for the communication interference in a heterogeneous network.
