Abstract

In this paper, the information-theoretic secrecy of Weibull fading channels is investigated. The present work generalizes the analysis on Rayleigh fading. Several formulas of the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. It is shown that in some cases the results can be expressed in terms of a general function, the Meijer G-function. Profile examples are illustrated and discussed.

Average secrecy capacity of the Weibull fading channel

Xian Liu

In this paper, the information-theoretic secrecy of Weibull fading channels is investigated. The present work is a generalization of the analysis on Rayleigh fading. This paper focuses on the scenario that the channel state information is available to the legitimate transmitter. The cases of single and multiple eavesdroppers are discussed. Several formulas of the average secrecy capacity are derived. Profile examples are illustrated and discussed.

An analysis on secrecy capacity of the Hoyt-Hoyt fading channel

Xian Liu

In this paper, the information-theoretic secrecy of the Hoyt fading channel is investigated. The analytical formulae of the outage probability of secrecy capacity in the regime of high SNR and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. Both are in terms of the hypergeometric function of two variables (i.e., Appell's function). Profile examples are illustrated.

Probability of Strictly Positive Secrecy Capacity of the Rician-Rician Fading Channel

Xian Liu

Communication security is critical in the marine environment as information may be transmitted over large open areas like high seas. In this letter, an analysis is conducted on the probability of secrecy capacity for wireless communications over the Rician fading channels. In particular, a closed-form expression for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity is derived. The result is applicable to the scenarios of Rayleigh/Rayleigh, Rician/Rayleigh, Rayleigh/Rician, and Rician/Rician.

Secrecy effects of the Rayleigh-Hoyt and Hoyt-Rayleigh fading channels in ground-satellite communications

Xian Liu

Satellite communication plays an important role in the smart city connection project. The Hoyt distribution is used to describe two types of fading in satellite signal transmissions. In this paper, the information-theoretic secrecy of the Rayleigh-Hoyt and Hoyt-Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. A set of exact formulas of the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. Profile examples are illustrated to show the effects of secrecy capacity.

Secrecy capacity analysis for α-μ/κ-μ and κ-μ/α-μ fading scenarios

Nidhi Bhargav, Simon L. Cotton

In this paper, we consider the transmission of confidential information over an α-μ and a κ-μ fading channel in the presence of an eavesdropper who experiences κ-μ and α-μ fading, respectively. In particular, we derive novel analytical expressions for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC) and a lower bound on secrecy outage probability (SOPL) for independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) channel coefficients. These results have been validated through simulations and reduction to known special cases. These new, very general formulations, are important as they bring together previously non-unified secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probabilities (SOP) such as those involving α-μ, Nakagami-m, Rayleigh, OneSided Gaussian, Weibull, Negative Exponential with κ-μ and Rice. Additionally, due to the duality of analysis of secrecy capacity and co-channel interference (CCI), the results presented here will also have immediate applicability in the analysis of outage probability in wireless systems affected by CCI and background noise for the aforementioned fading scenarios.

Strictly positive secrecy capacity of log-normal fading channel with multiple eavesdroppers

Xian Liu

In this paper, we investigate the information-theoretic secrecy for the log-normal fading channel. In particular, we derive the closed-form expressions of the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity for two wireless communication systems, with two and three eavesdroppers, respectively. These expressions are in terms of the well-known T-function and S-function.
