Abstract
When distributed MIMO antenna systems are deployed in underground tunnels, the optimal separation between antennas depends on achieving a suitable balance between the fading correlation and path loss observed at the receiver. Here, we formulate the task of finding the optimal separation as an optimization problem and propose a genetic algorithm to solve for it.
