The high cost of system and high power consumption of the traditional full digital precoding in mmWave massive MIMO systems was studied
which caused by a large number of radio frequency (RF) chain. A scheme with hybrid precoder at base station and analog combiner at user terminal was proposed. Based on the consideration of the channel characteristic
the analog precoding vectors and analog combining vectors were designed according to the antenna array response vectors of transmitting and receiving ends
respectively.Then a low dimension digital precoding was used to eliminate the influence of system noise and inter-user interference on the basis of the effective channel matrix.Simulation results show that
on the basis of effectively reducing the number of RF chain required by the system
the proposed hybrid precoding algorithm approach the performance of the full digital precoding.
