A method of deploying a distributed antenna system, comprising: providing at least a first multiple-input and multiple-output, MIMO, signal and a second MIMO signal from a MIMO base station; coupling one or more master units (18a, 18b) to the MIMO base station for receiving the first and second MIMO signals; coupling a first remote antenna unit to the one or more master units to receive the first MIMO signal and coupling a second remote antenna unit to the one or more master units to receive the second MIMO signal; locating the first remote antenna unit at a first location within an environment for communicating the first MIMO signal over a first air interface in the environment; locating the second remote antenna unit at a second location within the environment, spaced from and different from the first location, for separately communicating the second MIMO signal over a second air interface in the environment, the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) providing overlapping signal distribution and signal coverage of both the first MIMO signal and the second MIMO signal in the environment; wherein there is an imbalance of received power between the first and second MIMO signals communicated by the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) at a third location; analyzing the imbalance of received power between the first and second MIMO signals communicated by the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) at the third location in order to determine whether a desired capacity for MIMO communication has been achieved at the third location and arranging at least one of the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) based on the received power imbalance to achieve a desirable received power imbalance at the third location in the environment to provide said desired capacity for MIMO communications through the system at the third location. providing at least a first multiple-input and multiple-output, MIMO, signal and a second MIMO signal from a MIMO base station; coupling one or more master units (18a, 18b) to the MIMO base station for receiving the first and second MIMO signals; coupling a first remote antenna unit to the one or more master units to receive the first MIMO signal and coupling a second remote antenna unit to the one or more master units to receive the second MIMO signal; locating the first remote antenna unit at a first location within an environment for communicating the first MIMO signal over a first air interface in the environment; locating the second remote antenna unit at a second location within the environment, spaced from and different from the first location, for separately communicating the second MIMO signal over a second air interface in the environment, the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) providing overlapping signal distribution and signal coverage of both the first MIMO signal and the second MIMO signal in the environment; wherein there is an imbalance of received power between the first and second MIMO signals communicated by the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) at a third location; analyzing the imbalance of received power between the first and second MIMO signals communicated by the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) at the third location in order to determine whether a desired capacity for MIMO communication has been achieved at the third location and arranging at least one of the first and second remote antenna units (24a, 24b) based on the received power imbalance to achieve a desirable received power imbalance at the third location in the environment to provide said desired capacity for MIMO communications through the system at the third location.
