| contents | Pinching antenna (PA) is a flexible antenna composed of a waveguide and multiple dielectric particles, which is capable of reconfiguring wireless channels intelligently in line-of-sight links. By leveraging the unique features of PAs, we exploit the uplink (UL) transmission in pinching antenna systems (PASS). To comprehensively evaluate the performance gains of PASS in UL transmissions, three scenarios, multiple PAs for a single user (MPSU), a single PA for a single user (SPSU), and a single PA for multiple users (SPMU) are considered. The positions of PAs are optimized to obtain the maximal channel gains in the considered scenarios. For the MPSU and SPSU scenarios, by applying the optimized position of PAs, closed-form expressions for analytical, asymptotic and approximated ergodic rate are derived. As the further advance, closed-form expressions of approximated ergodic rate is derived when a single PA is fixed in the SPMU scenario. Our results demonstrate the following key insights: i) The proposed PASS significantly outperforms conventional Multiple-input Single-output networks by exploiting the flexibility of PAs; ii) The PA distribution follows an asymmetric non-uniform distribution in the MPSU scenario; iii) Optimizing PA positions significantly enhances the ergodic sum rate performance. |
