Secrecy Performance Analysis of a VLC System with a Randomly Positioned Eavesdropper

Over recent years, visible light communications (VLC) has gained prominence as a promising alternative to traditional RF communication, offering advantages in terms of bandwidth and security. This paper investigates the physical-layer security for a practical indoor VLC system where the positions of a legitimate receiver (Bob) and an eavesdropper (Eve) are considered to be random within their circular receiving planes. For this system model, the statistics of the VLC channel gains are obtained using which, closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability are derived. The analytical results, validated through Monte Carlo simulations, demonstrate the impact of key system parameters, namely signal-to-noise ratio, Bob and Eve relative positions, and the target secrecy rate on the SOP performance.

Secrecy Outage Probability Analysis for Visible Light Communications with SWIPT and Random Terminals

This paper investigates the physical-layer data secure transmission for indoor visible light communications (VLC) with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) and random terminals. A typical indoor VLC system including one transmitter, one desired information receiver and one energy receiver is considered. The two receivers are randomly deployed on the floor, and the random channel characteristics is analyzed. Based on the possibility that the energy receiver is a passive information eavesdropper, the secrecy outage probability (SOP) is employed to evaluate the system performance. A closed-from expression for the lower bound of the SOP is obtained. For the derived lower bound of SOP, the theoretical results match the simulation results very well, which indicates that the derived lower bound can be used to evaluate the secrecy performance. Moreover, the gap between the results of the lower bound and the exact simulation results is also small, which verifies the correctness of the analysis method to obtain the lower bound.

Performance Analysis and Improvement for Secure VLC With SLIPT and Random Terminals

This paper investigates the physical-layer data secure transmission for indoor visible light communications (VLC) with simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) and random terminals. A typical indoor VLC system including one transmitter, one desired information receiver and one energy receiver is considered. The two receivers are randomly deployed on the floor, and the random channel characteristics is analyzed. Based on the possibility that the energy receiver is a passive information eavesdropper, the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the average secrecy capacity (ASC) are employed to evaluate the system performance. A closed-form expression for the lower bound of the SOP and an exact closed-form expression for the ASC are derived, respectively. To further improve the physical-layer security, a protected zone based scheme is proposed, and then the SOP and the ASC are re-derived. By using Monte-Carlo simulations, the accuracy of the derived lower bound of SOP and the exact ASC are verified. Moreover, numerical results show that the security of the VLC system significantly improves by employing the protected zone.
