Abstract(in English) For massive MIMO systems to be employed in the 5th generation mobile communications (5G), hybrid beamforming (HB), which is composed of the analog beamforming (AB) and the digital beamforming (DB), has been investigated because HB can decrease the number of baseband and RF circuits significantly and thus can reduce a much larger amount of the cost and power consumption than the full DB (FD) configuration, which requires one baseband and RF circuits for each antenna element. This report proposes a scheme to estimate both phases for phase rotators in AB and a precoding matrix for DB so that they can realize the block diagonalization (BD). Due to BD, HB can null interference from the undesired users and can form efficient transmit beams with low computational complexity.For time division duplex (TDD) multiuser MIMO communications, the proposed scheme estimates the FD channel matrix in the uplink (UL) and the phase for the phase rotators of AB in the downlink (DL).After obtaining an equivalent channel matrix from the estimated FD channel matrix and AB precoding matrix, the scheme estimates the DB precoding matrix in DL from the equivalent channel matrix so that HB can achieve BD in DL.Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve DL average bit error rate (BER) performances that are little inferior to those of FD.
