Our results suggest that i) among the three factors, the array radiation pattern of each AP is the most important one in determining the optimal AP placement for the D-mMIMO; ii) the performance of the D-mMIMO is highly impacted by the placement and array radiation pattern of each AP, the D-mMIMO with unoptimized placement may perform even worse than the CAS with massive MIMO (C-mMIMO); iii) with the consideration of patch antennas and the mutual coupling effect, the optimized D-mMIMO can potentially save more than 7 dB transmit power compared to the C-mMIMO.
