In this study, the performances of commonly used precoding schemes are evaluated based on channel measurements carried out at 28GHz in a railway station for a massive antenna system configuration. And a hybrid precoding algorithm for a fifth generation (5G) multi-user antenna system is proposed and its performance is evaluated based on real measured channels. Specifically, An upper bound for achievable sum-rate of phasedzeroforcing (PZF) algorithm is derived and a precoding technique by reduction of phase shifters (PSs) named reduced-PZF (RPZF) is proposed, which can obviously reduce power consumption in hybrid precoding systems. In addition, the authors give the closed-form expression for achievable sum-rate when RPZF is used. There are no requirements in the authors' proposed scheme with complicated matrix decomposition and optimisation techniques. The simulation results show that it is possible to reduce 30 and 50% of the PSs by using the proposed hybrid precoder with better system performance in the line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS scenarios, respectively. In addition, the digital PSs with 3 bits low resolution can achieve the similar performance when using analogue ones.
