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. date: 2018-03-01 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: https://doi.org/10.23919/APCC.2017.8304065 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1565896 doi: 10.23919/APCC.2017.8304065 isbn_13: 978-1-7405-2390-5 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Wong, Kai-Kit lyricists_id: KWONG98 actors_name: Wong, Kai-Kit actors_id: KWONG98 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: 2017 23RD ASIA-PACIFIC CONFERENCE ON COMMUNICATIONS (APCC): BRIDGING THE METROPOLITAN AND THE REMOTE pages: 6 event_title: 2017 23rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC) event_location: Perth (WA), Australia event_dates: 11 December 2017 - 13 December 2017 institution: 23rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC) - Bridging the Metropolitan and the Remote book_title: The Proceedings of the 2017 23rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC) citation: Han, Y; Jin, S; Zhang, J; Zhang, J; Wong, K-K; (2018) Analog beam selection schemes of DFT-based hybrid beamforming multiuser systems.
