In this letter, physical layer secrecy/security performance analysis has been investigated over cascaded fading channels where the fading effects are worse than those in the cellular communication channels like Rayleigh and Nakagami-m. Analytic results are derived for the double Rayleigh fading channel model. As the analysis are evaluated, first the closed-form expression of the probability of the positive secrecy capacity is obtained, then the exact secrecy outage probability is obtained in the closed-form. Finally, the analytic results are verified by comparing with the computer simulations.

In this study, the authors investigate the secrecy performance at the physical layer of wireless communication systems where the channels are modelled as cascaded fading channels, in which the fading effects are worse than those in the cellular communication channels like Rayleigh and Nakagami‐ m . Analytic results are derived for the cascaded Nakagami‐ m fading channel model comprising the cascaded Rayleigh, 2*Nakagami‐ m , the generalised‐ K , and the conventional cellular channel models as well. By evaluating the information‐theoretic physical layer security performance, they obtain the closed‐form expressions of the average secrecy capacity and probability of the positive secrecy capacity in case of that channel‐state‐information of the eavesdropper is known by the source. Then they obtain the exact closed‐form secrecy outage probability (SOP) when the eavesdropper is passive. Analytic results are computed in terms of the bivariate and univariate Meijer's G functions and later on are successfully validated through Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results show that the secrecy performance worsens with the increasing cascading degree of the fading channels. For example, in 2*Nakagami‐ m fading channels where the cascading degree is 2, extra 4 dB signal‐to‐noise ratio is required to achieve the same SOP value in comparison with the classical Nakagami‐ m fading channels.
Next-generation wireless communication systems with high user mobility inherit cascaded fading channel models, where the fading effects are more severe than classical channel models including Rayleigh and Nakagami-m. In this study, physical layer secrecy/security performance analysis has been investigated over double Nakagami-m fading channels. While analytic results are derived, the closed-form expression of the probability of positive secrecy capacity is obtained, then the exact secrecy outage probability is obtained in the closed-form. Furthermore, computer simulations are given to verify the analytic results.
Recently, many works have focused on analysing the metrics of physical layer security over different wireless channels such as additive white Gaussian noise, Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami‐ m fading distributions. To extend the analysis to the general case, the α – μ fading channel is considered, which can span the aforementioned cases. For this purpose, the physical layer security over the α – μ fading channel is presented. The closed‐form expressions for the probability of positive secrecy capacity and upper bound of the secrecy outage probability are derived. Their accuracies are assessed through comparison of theoretical analysis and simulations results.
In this paper, the physical layer security over the M-distributed fading channel is investigated. Initially, an exact expression of secrecy outage probability (SOP) is derived, which has an integral term. To get a closed-form expression, a lower bound of SOP is obtained. After that, the exact expression for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC) is derived, which is in closed-form. Finally, an exact expression of ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) is derived, which has two integral terms. To reduce its computational complexity, a closed-from expression for the lower bound of ESC is obtained. As special cases of M-distributed fading channels, the secure performance of the K, exponential, and Gamma-Gamma fading channels are also derived, respectively. Numerical results show that all theoretical results match well with Monte-Carlo simulation results. Specifically, when the average signal-to-noise ratio of main channel is larger than 40 dB, the relative errors for the lower bound of SOP, the probability of SPSC, and the lower bound of ESC are less than 1.936%, 6.753%, and 1.845%, respectively. This indicates that the derived theoretical expressions can be directly used to evaluate system performance without time-consuming simulations. Moreover, the derived results regarding parameters that influence the secrecy performance will enable system designers to quickly determine the optimal available parameter choices when facing different security risks.
This paper studies performance analysis of physical layer security in a Rayleigh fading wiretap channel, where, the main (transmitter-to-legitimate receiver) and eavesdropper (transmitter-to-eavesdropper) channel coefficients are correlated. By exploiting the novel approach called Copula theory, we derive closed-form expressions for average secrecy capacity (ASC), secrecy outage probability (SOP), and secrecy coverage region (SCR). Moreover, to more evaluate the impact of channel correlation, the asymptotic behavior of SOP in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime and other scenarios is studied, and finally, the analytical results are illustrated numerically under the positive dependence, independence, and negative dependence structures. Based on the insights from this analysis, we found that the effect of correlated fading on the performance of physical layer security can be helpful or harmful in different scenarios, depending on the structure of dependency between the main and eavesdropper channels.
Security Performance Analysis of Physical Layer over Fisher-Snedecor F Fading Channels
In this letter, the performance analysis of physical layer security over Fisher-Snedecor F fading channels is investigated. In particular, the average secrecy capacity (ASC), the secure outage probability (SOP), the lower bound of the SOP (SOPL), and the strictly positive secure capacity (SPSC) are derived in exact closed-from expressions. The Fisher-Snedecor F fading channel is a composite of multipath/shadowed fading that are represented by the Nakagami-m distribution. Moreover, it provides close results to the practical measurements than the generalised K (KG) fading channels. To validate our analysis, the numerical results are affirmed by the Monte Carlo simulations.
