Title
Secrecy outage of TAS/GSC in Nakagami-m fading channels
Abstract
This paper considers transmit antenna selection (TAS) and receive generalized selection combining (GSC) for secure communication in MIMO wiretap channel, where confidential messages transmitted from an NA-antenna transmitter to an NB-antenna legitimate receiver are overheard by an NE-antenna eavesdropper. We assume that the main channel and the eavesdropper's channel undergo Nakagami-m fading with fading parameters mB and mE, respectively. In an effort to assess the secrecy performance, we present a closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability. We then derive closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for two realistic scenarios: 1) the legitimate receiver is located close to the transmitter, and 2) the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper are located close to the transmitter. In the first scenario, we confirm that the secrecy diversity order is mBNBNA. In the second scenario, we confirm that the secrecy diversity order collapses to zero. While this may appear discouraging at a first glance, we show that low secrecy outage probability can still be achieved.
