In this paper, we study the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) based downlink multi-user system where a multi-antenna base station (BS) sends signals to various users assisted by the RIS reflecting the incident signals of the BS towards the users. Unlikemost existing works, we consider the practical case where only the large-scale fading gain is required at the BS and a limited number of phase shifts can be realized by the finite-sized RIS. To maximize the sum rate, we propose a hybrid beamforming scheme where the continuous digital beamforming and discrete RIS-based analog beamforming are performed at the BS and the RIS, respectively. An iterative algorithm is designed for beamforming and theoretical analysis is provided to evaluate how the size of RIS influences the achievable rate. Simulation results show that the RIS-based system can achieve a good sum-rate performance by setting a reasonable size of RIS and a small number of discrete phase shifts.
