Abstract
Systems and methods related to monitoring a status, or health, of a (e.g., massive) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transceiver and, in particular, that of an antenna system (e.g., an Advanced Antenna System (AAS)) of the MIMO transceiver are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a radio system implemented in a radio access node to perform supervision of a MIMO transceiver of the radio system comprises performing continuous over-the-air based supervision the MIMO transceiver of the radio system, determining a status of the MIMO transceiver based on results of performing continuous over-the-air based supervision of the MIMO transceiver of the radio system, and taking an action based on the status of the MIMO transceiver.
