The performance of distributed wireless communication systems is dictated by the system boundaries and the interference regimes. In this paper, we present a novel coverage and connectivity analysis of a wireless system within confined domains. Specifically, a system where the receiver connects to the nearest transmitter is analyzed. Using tools from stochastic geometry, we derive general expressions quantifying the dependence of the system performance on the location of the receiver for general geometries, inclusive of circles and rectangles. The developed theory and expressions provide new insights on where additional nodes must be deployed in an existing network in order to maximize a desired quality of service. We further extend the analysis to networks with multiple collaborating transmitters which use maximum ratio transmission (MRT) or joint transmission such as in CoMP and other distributed antenna systems. Our results indicate that while having more collaborating transmitters can improve the performance of the system, artefacts due to the domain geometries cannot be eliminated. We corroborate our analysis through simulations.
