In the next generation mobile communication systems, hybrid massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) can be used to highly improve an achievable rate without increasing the number of RF chains. Recently, successive-interference-cancellation (SIC) based hybrid precoder design scheme was proposed to reduce the complexity. However, since this scheme uses simple diagonal matrix for baseband precoding, it cannot solve an interference problem between the transmitted streams. Also, there is a limitation for improving the data rate because of the use of one phase shifter for analog precoding. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose a digital precoding based on the SVD of the effective channel and an analog precoding using two phase shifters. Through simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has better achievable rate and SINR performances than the conventional one.
