Hybrid Precoding for Wideband Millimeter-Wave Systems With Finite Resolution Phase Shifters

In this paper, we study the hybrid analog-digital precoding for OFDM based-wideband millimeter wave (mmwave) communication systems. Since the analog precoding matrix is performed in the time domain and used for the entire bandwidth while the digital precoding matrices are performed on a per-subcarrier basis, the resulting wideband hybrid precoding problem becomes very complicated. Moreover, in practice phase shiftier (PS) usually has only finite resolution, which brings more difficulties. To solve the resulting difficult problem, we propose an efficient algorithm by leveraging the penalty decomposition method. Simulation results are finally provided to confirm the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm and show the performance improvement than the existing algorithm.
