On the Secrecy Outage of Wiretap Channel

Abstract

In wireless data transmission, providing security over communication channels has become a growing concern. Traditionally cryptography is used to provide secrecy. However, physical layer studies show that it allows a huge potential in providing secrecy. In this paper, secrecy outage probability is derived for Rician fading channels. A new secrecy metric Generalized Secrecy Outage Probability(GSOP) derivation is considered to overcome the limitation of traditional Outage probability for both passive and active cases of eavesdropping.
