Abstract

We analyze the informat ion-theoretic security of transmit-receive diversity systems in the presence of mult iantenna eavesdroppers.Specifically, exact and asymptotic closed -form expressions are derived for the secrecy outage probability of such systems in a Rayleigh fading environ ment.Based on the latter exp ression, the corresponding secrecy diversity order and secrecy array gain are determined.Nu merical results are presented to verify the analytical results and to investig ate the impact of various system parameters, including the antenna configuration and the number of eavesdroppers.

On the secrecy performance of transmit-receive diversity and spatial multiplexing systems

Kiattisak Maichalernnukul

Emerging from the information-theoretic characterization of secrecy, physical-layer security exploits the physical properties of the wireless channel for security purpose. In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid to investigating the physical-layer security issues in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications. This paper analyzes the secrecy performance of transmit-receive diversity system and spatial multiplexing systems with zero-forcing equalization and minimum mean-square-error equalization. Specifically, exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions are derived for the secrecy outage probability of such MIMO systems in a Rayleigh fading environment, and the corresponding secrecy diversity orders and secrecy array gains are determined. Numerical results are presented to corroborate the analytical results and to examine the impact of various system parameters, including the numbers of antennas at the transmitter, the legitimate receiver, and the eavesdropper. These contributions bring about valuable insights into the physical-layer security in MIMO wireless systems.

Secrecy Outage Analysis of Multiuser Diversity With Unequal Average SNR in Transmit Antenna Selection Systems

Yujia Hu, Xiaofeng Tao

This letter exploits multiuser diversity to enhance the physical layer security in transmit antenna selection systems. Since fading channels among different users are nonidentically distributed, new expressions of the exact and asymptotic secrecy outage probability are derived in an accumulate way. Also, an efficient closed-form derivation rather than a numerical root-finding is presented to evaluate the ε-outage secrecy capacity. Simulations are provided to verify our analysis and show that 1) the number of users has a great impact on secrecy performance; 2) the multiuser diversity should be exploited appropriately considering the statistics of the legitimate users and the eavesdropper.

On Secrecy of a Multi-Antenna System with Eavesdropper in Close Proximity

Wei Xu, Zhangjie Peng, Shi Jin

This letter investigates secrecy performance of a wiretap channel where an eavesdropper is located in close proximity to legitimate receiver. In the system, both receivers equip multiple antennas and use maximal ratio combining (MRC) to harvest diversity gains. In order to analyze the impact of eavesdropping in close proximity, we derive closed-form expressions for the system performance in terms of both secrecy capacity and outage probability. Since the derived expressions involve infinite series sums, finite series approximations are then presented with guaranteed truncation error. Moreover, we also characterize the asymptotic behavior of secrecy outage. Some insightful observations are accordingly manifested with numerical verifications.

Secrecy Outage Analysis of Buffer-Aided Cooperative MIMO Relaying Systems

Xuanxuan Tang, Yueming Cai, Yuzhen Huang +3 more

This paper investigates the secrecy outage performance of buffer-aided multirelay multiple-input multiple-output cooperative systems in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. Due to the unavailability of the channel state information of eavesdropper's channel, a buffer-aided joint transmit antenna and relay selection scheme based on the main channel is proposed to enhance the secrecy performance. Specifically, we model the evolution of the relay buffers as a Markov chain and derive new exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability, which provides an efficient way to assess the effect of system parameters on the secrecy outage probability. Moreover, simple asymptotic results are further exploited under two special scenarios, i.e., L → ∞ and L → ∞ (where L denotes the size of the relay buffers), for characterizing the achievable secrecy diversity gain, the secrecy coding gain, and the secrecy diversity-multiplexing tradeoff. Our results reveal that: 1) a secrecy diversity gain of NRMmin(NS, ND) is achieved when L → ∞, however, when L → ∞, the secrecy diversity gain increases to NRM(NS+ ND), where NS, NR, and ND represent the number of antennas at the source, each of M relays and the destination, respectively. 2) The eavesdropper's channel does not affect the secrecy diversity gain but only the secrecy coding gain in both the two scenarios.

Secrecy Outage Probability for MRC Receiver in Presence of Multiple Antenna Eavesdropper

Brijesh Kumbhani, Hemant Kumar Sharma

In this paper, we consider a hybrid fading model in which line of sight (LOS) component is available between the transmitter and legitimate receiver and assume that eavesdropper is not in LOS from the transmitter. We analyze probability of existence of secrecy and secrecy outage probability for the case that the channels to the legitimate receiver are κ-μ faded and the channels to eavesdropper are Rayleigh faded. We present closed form expressions for existence of secrecy and a lower bound on secrecy outage probability when legitimate receiver and eavesdropper uses maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity scheme to improve their performances in fading conditions. Results of analytical expressions are verified by an agreement of the results from simulation. Finally, it is concluded that the presence of LOS component improves secrecy of the system and stronger LOS component betters the secrecy.

Physical layer security of MISO TAS wiretap channels with interference-limited eavesdropper

Nuwan S. Ferdinand, Daniel Benevides da Costa, Matti Latva‐aho

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channels with transmit antenna selection (TAS) and subject to an interference-limited eavesdropper. By considering NAantennas at the transmitter, a single antenna at the legitimate receiver and eavesdropper, and multiple arbitrary co-channel interferers M at the eavesdropper, an exact closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability is derived. The exact expression is simplified for two, yet novel, special cases. Based on these analytical expressions, an asymptotic secrecy outage analysis is carried out and it shows that the diversity order of the considered system equals to min(NA, M). The proposed analysis is corroborated through Monte Carlo simulation results. Illustrative numerical examples are depicted and insightful discussions are drawn. It is shown that the secrecy outage performance is largely limited by the number of interference channels and the number of transmit antennas due to diversity gain.
