On the Spectral-Efficiency of Low-Complexity and Resolution Hybrid Precoding and Combining Transceivers for mmWave MIMO Systems

Millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems will almost certainly use hybrid precoding to realize beamforming with few numbers of RF chains to reduce energy consumption, but require low complexity technique to improve spectral efficiency. While energy-efficient hybrid analog/digital precoders and combiners designs can subdue the high pathloss inherent in mmWave channels, they assume the use of infinite- (or high-)...
