Interleaved-MIMO DAS for Indoor Radio Coverage: Guidelines for Planning

الملخص EN

The combination of distributed antenna systems (DAS) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) schemes opens the way to a variety of coverage solutions for indoor environment.

In this paper interleaved-MIMO (i-MIMO) DAS indoor coverage extension strategies are studied.

Their performance in high-order MIMO cases is investigated in realistic conditions through LTE-A link-level simulations, based on statistical data extracted from radio channel measurements; the impact of the deployment strategy on performance is then evaluated and useful planning guidelines are derived to determine the optimum deployment for a given propagation environment.
