The combination of distributed antenna systems (DAS) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) schemes opens the way to a\nvariety of coverage solutions for indoor environment. In this paper interleaved-MIMO (i-MIMO) DAS indoor coverage extension\nstrategies are studied. Their performance in high-order MIMO cases is investigated in realistic conditions through LTE-A link level\nsimulations, based on statistical data extracted from radio channel measurements; the impact of the deployment strategy\non performance is then evaluated and useful planning guidelines are derived to determine the optimum deployment for a given\npropagation environment.
