LoS Blockage in Pinching-Antenna Systems: Curse or Blessing?

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: 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.
