Deployment of Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) relay transmission technique is an imperative amendment in wireless networks to increase capacity and coverage of the existing base stations. The merger of MIMO and relaying techniques are becoming integral part of various wireless networks such 3G, 4G, LTE advanced and massive MIMO. The performance of relay assisted MIMO channels depends on the relay receive and transmit processing design. The relay processing is classified as linear and non-linear processing techniques. The non-linear techniques are optimal but for practical implementation they are difficult as they are high complex in nature. Therefore, preference is given to linear techniques resulting in simple, efficient and high performance relaying transmission methods.
