Abstract

The effects of scatterers, fluctuation parameter and propagation clusters significantly affect the performance of κ-μ shadowed fading channel. On the other hand, opportunistic relaying is an efficient technique to improve the performance of fading channels reducing the effects of aforementioned parameters. Motivated by these issues, in this paper, a secure wireless multicasting scenario through κ-μ shadowed fading channel is considered in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers with opportunistic relaying. The main purpose of this paper is to ensure the security level in wireless multicasting compensating the loss of security due to the effects of power ratio between dominant and scattered waves, fluctuation parameter, and the number of propagation clusters, multicast users and eavesdroppers, by opportunistic relaying technique. The closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity (PNSMC) and the secure outage probability for multicasting (SOPM) to understand the insight of the effects of above parameters. The results show that the loss of security in multicasting through κ-μ shadowed fading channel can be significantly enhanced using opportunistic relaying technique by compensating the effects of scatterers, fluctuation parameter, and the number of propagation clusters, multicast users and eavesdroppers.

Opportunistic Relaying in Multicasting over Generalized Shadowed Fading Channels: A PHY Security Analysis.

The secrecy of wireless multicast networks is greatly hampered due to the simultaneous presence of fading and shadowing, which can be enhanced using random attributes of the propagation medium. This work focuses on utilizing those attributes to enhance the physical layer security (PHY security) performance of a dual-hop wireless multicast network over kappa-mu shadowed fading channel under the wiretapping attempts of multiple eavesdroppers. In order to raise the secrecy level, we employ multiple relays with the best relay selection strategy. Performance analysis has been carried out based on the mathematical modeling in terms of closed-form expressions of the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity, secure outage probability for multicasting, and ergodic secrecy multicast capacity. Capitalizing on those expressions, we analyze how the system parameters (i.e. fading, shadowing, the number of antennas, destination receivers, eavesdroppers, and relays) affect the secrecy performance. Our numerical results show that the detrimental impacts due to fading and shadowing can be remarkably mitigated using the well-known opportunistic relaying technique. Moreover, the proposed model unifies secrecy analysis of several classical models, thereby exhibits enormous versatility than the existing works. Finally, all the numerical results are authenticated utilizing Monte-Carlo simulations.

The performance of Rayleigh fading channels is substantially impacted by the impacts of relays, antennas, and the number of branches. Opportunistic relaying is a potent technique for enhancing the effects of the aforementioned factors while enhancing the performance of fading channels. Due to these issues, a secure wireless multicasting scenario using opportunistic relaying over Rayleigh fading channel in the presence of multiple wiretappers is taken into consideration in this study. So the investigation of a secure wireless multicasting scenario using opportunistic relaying over Rayleigh fading channel in the presence of multiple wiretappers is the focus of this paper. The primary goals of this study are to maximize security in wireless multicasting while minimizing security loss caused by the effects of relays, branches at destinations and wiretappers, as well as multicast users and wiretappers through opportunistic relaying. To comprehend the insight effects of prior parameters, the closed form analytical expressions are constructed for the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity (PNSMC), ergodic secrecy multicast capacity (ESMC), and secure outage probability for multicasting (SOPM). The findings demonstrate that opportunistic relaying is a successful method for reducing the loss of security in multicasting.

Enhancing Security in Multicellular Multicast Channels Reducing Interference Power with the Best Relay Selection

Shaikh Muhammad Rizwan Ali, Md. Zahurul I. Sarkar

The capacity of wireless networks is fundamentally limited by interference.A few research has focused on the study of the simultaneous effect of interference and correlation, and less attention has been paid to the topic of canceling simultaneous effect of interference and correlation until recently.This paper considers a secure wireless multicasting scenario through multicellular networks over spatially correlated Nakagami-m fading channel in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers.Authors are interested to protect the desired signals from eavesdropping considering the impact of perfect channel estimation (PCE) with interference and correlation.The protection of eavesdropping is also made strong reducing the simultaneous impact of interference and correlation on the secrecy multicast capacity employing opportunistic relaying technique.In terms of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), fading parameter, correlation coefficient, the number of multicast users and eavesdroppers and the number of antennas at the multicast users and eavesdroppers, the closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity and the secure outage probability for multicasting to understand the insight of the effects of aforementioned parameters.The results show that the simultaneous effects of correlation and interference at the multicast users degrade security in multicasting.Moreover, the security in multicasting degrades with the intensity of fading and the number of multicast users, eavesdroppers and antennas at the eavesdroppers.The effects of these parameters on the security in multicasting can be significantly reduced by using opportunistic relaying technique with PCE.Finally, the analytical results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulation to justify the validity of derived closed-form analytical expressions.
