The application of hybrid precoding in millimeter wave (mm-wave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has been proven effective for reducing the number of radio frequency (RF) chains. However, the maximum number of independent data streams is conventionally restricted by the number of RF chains, which limits the spatial multiplexing gain. To further improve the achievable spectral efficiency (SE), in this paper we propose a generalized spatial modulation aided mmwave MIMO system to convey an extra data stream via the index of the active antennas group, while no extra RF chain is required. Moreover, we propose a hybrid analog and digital precoding scheme for SE maximization. Based on a narrowband mmwave-MIMO channel assumption, a closed-form lower bound is derived to quantify the achievable SE of the proposed system. By utilizing this lower bound as the cost function, a two-step algorithm is proposed to optimize the hybrid precoder. The proposed algorithm not only utilizes the concavity of the cost function over the digital power allocation vector but also invokes the convex 1<sub>&#x221E;</sub> relaxation to handle the non-convex constraint imposed by analog precoding. Finally, the proposed scheme is shown via simulations to outperform state-of-the-art mm-wave MIMO schemes in terms of achievable SE.
