Abstract The digital and analogue Hybrid Precoding (HP) is able to keep the performance close to that of the fully digital precoding with reduced Radio Frequency (RF) chains. In a millimeter wave massive MIMO system, the HP can be used to overcome the undesired hardware cost and calibration workload caused by the excessive RFs. Considering that the conventional HP structure is not practical, the research is based on a simple fixed sub-connection structure. The condition that the analogue precoding matrix should meet to maximize the sum achievable rate is deduced, so that the design of the analogue precoding matrix is transformed into an optimization problem. The optimal analogue precoding matrix is obtained by using Bird Swarm Algorithm (BSA). Considering that finite resolution phase shifters are used, a straightforward quantization solution and an improved discrete BSA based solution are proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve good performance based on simple structure. While using finite resolution phase shifter, both of the proposed solutions are effective, furthermore, the solution based on the discrete BSA can get better performance while the resolution is low.
