The deployment of large antenna arrays at the base station is a prerequisite for operating at the millimeter wave bands. The large antenna arrays are required to achieve high beamforming gains and thus to guarantee sufficient received signal power. In massive multiple input multiple output systems hybrid precoding is utilized to reduce power consumption and cost. Conventional precoding schemes require full channel knowledge at the transmitter, which is hard to obtain, especially in frequency division duplex systems. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid precoding scheme, which requires only the information acquired during the initial access phase. Furthermore, we derive an analytical expression for characterizing the beam detection capabilities of the system.
