It is well-known that when antennas are placed, it changes its performance due to environmental effects or interactions with the mounting structure.
As a first step, simulations will lead us to quantify the impacts of effects mentioned before on antenna radiation pattern and as a consequence of this, the impact on network parameters performance.
Finally, it will be compared simulations results with the result obtained for a realistic deployment by means of a measurement campaign performed in the urban area of Aalborg.
