In this paper, we propose a novel channel feedback scheme for frequency division duplexing massive multi-input multi-output systems. The concept uses the notion of user statistical separability which was hinted in several prior works in the massive antenna regime but not fully exploited so far. We here propose a hybrid statistical-instantaneous feedback scheme based on a user classification mechanism where the classification metric derives from a rate bound analysis. According to classification results, a user either operates on a statistical feedback mode or instantaneous mode. Our results illustrate the sum rate advantages of our scheme under a global feedback overhead constraint.
