AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE-INPUT, MULTIPLE-OUTPUT (MIMO) COMMUNICATIONS STREAM DISTRIBUTION TO REMOTE UNITS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (DCS) TO SUPPORT CONFIGURATION OF INTERLEAVED MIMO COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES

摘要

Distributed communications systems (DCSs) supporting automated analysis of MIMO communications stream distribution to remote units in a distributed communication system (DCS) to support configuration of interleaved MIMO communications services are disclosed. In this regard, MIMO analysis circuits can be employed to determine the actual routing of MIMO communications signals and locations of the remote units to automatedly determine any MIMO cell bonding between the remote units to determine the configured interleaved MIMO configuration in effect in the DCS. The determined interleaved MIMO configuration of the DCS infrastructure is used to determine other possible interleaved MIMO configurations and their associated performance, along with the associated configurations and changes needed to realize such possible interleaved MIMO configurations. These possible interleaved MIMO communications service configurations can then be presented to a technician or customer to determine if any of the possible interleaved MIMO communication service configurations should be deployed in the DCS.
