Utilizing a matrix representation of semiperfect rings by a family of bimodules over local rings, we describe the structure of generalized quasi-Frobenius rings in two steps: a cyclic generalized quasi-Frobenius ring is a matrix ring over a cycle of Morita dualities between local rings, and an arbitrary generalized quasi-Frobenius ring is a matrix ring over a family of cyclic generalized quasi-Frobenius rings.

Our results provide a complete classification of generalized quasi-Frobenius rings, modulo the classification of local rings with Morita duality, of certain bimodules over such rings, and of certain rest families of multiplication maps.
