This letter investigates the hybrid analog and digital beamforming (HBF) design for multiuser millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. Using the alternating minimization method, the hybrid precoder of the base station (BS) and the hybrid combiners of the users are alternatively optimized. It is shown that both the optimized digital precoder of the BS and the digital combiners of the users have closed-form expressions, and their corresponding analog ones can be efficiently obtained via generalized eigen-decomposition. Simulation results show that the proposed MMSE HBF scheme has fast convergence and performs close to the fully digital beamforming.
