Abstract

This paper studies analog beam selection schemes of discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based hybrid beamforming systems. We first derive approximations of the achievable rates when maximum-ratio combining (MRC) receiver and maximum-ratio transmitting (MRT) precoder are used in the uplink and downlink, respectively. It is shown that the achievable rate of the hybrid beamforming system is improved with the increase of the number of radio frequency chains. Also, it is found that the orthogonality condition among the line-of-sight (LoS) paths from different users directly determines the interference cancellation capability of the MRC receiver or the MRT precoder. Based on our analytical results, we propose two novel DFT beam selection schemes, referred to as exhausted searching and per-user selection. Numerical results show that the first scheme achieves higher rate while the second one is a simple suboptimal strategy with low complexity, which is practically more attractive.
