Systems and methods for determining an assignment of radio resources to antennas are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining an antenna deployment including antennas and corresponding locations for the antennas; determining a cell assignment for the antennas such that each antenna is assigned to one cell out of one or more cells; and, based on the cell assignment, determining a resource assignment for the antennas such that each antenna is assigned to one radio resource out of one or more radio resources. In this way, some embodiments disclosed herein provide a lightweight and efficient method to design a distributed antenna deployment. In some embodiments, the resulting network is optimized in terms of the total area where a high rank is achieved.

Systems and methods for designing a distributed MIMO network

Systems and methods for determining a performance metric for an antenna deployment are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining the antenna deployment including antennas and corresponding locations for the antennas, a cell assignment for the antennas such that each antenna is assigned to one cell out of one or more cells, and a resource assignment for the antennas such that each antenna is assigned to one radio resource out of one or more radio resources. Based on the antenna deployment, the cell assignment, and the resource assignment, the method determines at least one performance metric of the antenna deployment. In this way, some embodiments disclosed herein provide a lightweight & efficient method to simulate the performance of a MIMO network composed of distributed antennas. In some embodiments, the performance is realized by calculating SINR, Bitrate, and Rank for the network.
