Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) wireless distribution system (WDS) and related methods for optimizing the M-MIMO WDS. In one aspect, the M-MIMO WDS includes a plurality of remote units each deployed at a location and includes one or more antennas to serve a remote coverage area. At least one remote unit can have a different number of the antennas from at least one other remote unit in the M-MIMO WDS. In another aspect, a selected system configuration including the location and number of the antennas associated with each of the remote units can be determined using an iterative algorithm that maximizes a selected system performance indicator of the M-MIMO WDS. As such, it may be possible to optimize the selected system performance indicator at reduced complexity and costs, thus helping to enhance user experiences in the M-MIMO WDS.

Claim (Index 20):
A massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) wireless distribution system (WDS), comprising:\n a plurality of remote units each configured to be deployed at a location to serve a respective remote coverage area; and a central unit communicatively coupled to the plurality of remote units over a plurality of optical communications links, the central unit being configured to distribute a downlink MIMO communications signal over the plurality of optical communications links to the plurality of remote units, wherein:\n each of the plurality of remote units comprises one or more antennas configured to distribute the downlink MIMO communications signal to at least one client device located in the respective remote coverage area, and \n at least one remote unit among the plurality of remote units comprises a higher number of the antennas than the at least one other remote unit among the plurality of remote units when the respective remote coverage area served by the at least one remote unit has a higher client device density than the respective remote coverage area served by the at least one other remote unit among the plurality of remote units.
