This letter is to investigate the impact of line-of-sight (LoS) blockage on pinching-antenna systems. Analytical results are developed for both single-user and multi-user cases to reveal that the presence of LoS blockage is beneficial for increasing the performance gain of pinching antennas over conventional antennas. This letter also reveals that LoS blockage is particularly useful in multi-user cases, where co-channel interference can be effectively suppressed by LoS blockage.

    eess.SP 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fixed multi-pinching-antenna downlink is modeled as a finite-impulse-response channel, and an OFDMA max-min subcarrier and power allocation is shown by simulation to raise the worst-user rate over single-carrier baselines.

  7. Analytical Optimization for Antenna Placement in Pinching-Antenna Systems

    cs.IT 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For fairness-based OMA, the optimal pinching-antenna location is the mean of users' x-coordinates and does not depend on their distance from the waveguide; for NOMA it moves exponentially toward the user nearest the w...
