%X This paper deals with the challenges related to evaluating the performance of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) system within an underground mine environment at 2.4 GHz. Actual measured channels parameters have been used in simulation tools based on Agilent SystemVue software. The results suggest that LTE is able in practice to support multi stream transmission with very high data rates in an underground mine gallery.
