Abstract
A method for radio frequency chain allocation. The method is utilized in a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. Specifically, a hybrid beamforming (HB) system in which the overall beamformer consists of a low-dimensional digital beamformer followed by an analog beamformer utilized the method to allocate RF chains to data streams. The total number of RF chains is not necessarily equal to the number of data streams to users.
