Abstract: This paper considers the setup of a parallel MIMO relay network in which $K$ relays, each equipped with $N$ antennas, assist the transmitter and the receiver, each equipped with $M$ antennas, in the half-duplex mode, under the assumption that $NgeqM$. This setup has been studied in the literature like in cite{nabar}, cite{nabar2}, and cite{qr}. In this paper, a simple scheme, the so-called Incremental Cooperative Beamforming, is introduced and shown to achieve the capacity of the network in the asymptotic case of $Koinfty$ with a gap no more than $O(frac1log(K))$. This result is shown to hold, as long as the power of the relays scales as $omega(fraclo{g}^9(K)K)$. Finally, the asymptotic SNR behavior is studied and it is proved that the proposed scheme achieves the full multiplexing gain, regardless of the number of relays.
