The invention provides a sea area large-scale antenna planar array beam selection and user scheduling method, and relates to the technical field of sea area scheduling. The method comprises the stepsas follows: R1, a shipborne AIS system performs information interaction with a shore-based base station equipped with a large-scale antenna planar array, and acquires position information of each user; and then height information of the shore-based base station and height information of a ship terminal are acquired via a height indicator; R2, a sea area range covered by beams corresponding to thelarge-scale antenna planar array is divided according to the user position information, and the height information of the shore-based base station and the ship terminal acquired in the step R1, and each user is divided into each corresponding beam; R3, the user with the highest priority is selected from each beam, and sequentially put into the set of users to be served; and R4, in each schedulingperiod, the user in the set of users to be served is scheduled according to a system weight and rate maximization criterion for service, and the unused beams are closed. According to the method provided by the invention, the beam selection and user scheduling speed is fast, and the algorithm complexity is low.
