We investigate and propose the utilization of regenerative and non-regenerative relaying terminals in downlink cooperative MIMO communications, such as in base-station/router-relay-user transmission under different schemes. The source is equipped with multiple antennas, while the relays and destination are single-antenna terminals. From the source to the relays, symbols are transmitted using MIMO spatial-multiplexing technique. Depending on the type of relaying scheme, the relays either fully decode or amplify the received signal before retransmitting it to the destination using simple TDM transmission or Alamoutis space-time coding. We show that the proposed system realizes MIMO performance in single-antenna system environment, and performance-wise it is superior to existing transmission schemes, especially in low-SNR conditions. Furthermore, the proposed system is shown to give a diversity order of N - M + 1, similar to that of MIMO V-BLAST system.
