A key point in the deployment of new wireless services is the cost-effective extension and enhancement of the network's radio coverage in indoor environments. Distributed Antenna Systems using Fiber-optics distribution (F-DAS) represent a suitable method of extending multiple-operator radio coverage into indoor premises, tunnels, etc. Another key point is the adoption of MIMO (Multiple Input-Multiple Output) transmission techniques which can exploit the multipath nature of the radio link to ensure reliable, high-speed wireless communication in hostile environments. In this paper novel indoor deployment solutions based on Radio over Fiber (RoF) and distributed-antenna MIMO techniques are presented and discussed, highlighting their potential in different cases.
