A Stochastic Geometric Analysis on Multi-cell Pinching-antenna Systems under Blockage Effect

Recently, the study on pinching-antenna technique has attracted significant attention. However, most relevant literature focuses on a single-cell scenario, where the effect from the interfering pinching-antennas on waveguides connected to spatially distributed base stations (BSs) was ignored. To fulfill this knowledge gap, this letter aims to provide an analytical framework on performance evaluation for multi-cell pinching-antenna systems where spatially distributed waveguides which are connected to different BSs are considered. In particular, tools from stochastic geometry is applied for system modeling. The expression for the outage probability is obtained. Simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy of the analysis and demonstrate the superior performance of pinching-antenna system compared to fixed-antenna systems.
