Secrecy Performance of Correlated α-μ Fading Channels

Abstract

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of the classical Wyner’s wiretap model, where the main channel and eavesdropper channel experience correlated α-μ fading. Novel and exact expressions for the average secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability are derived for the considered realistic scenario. The effect of correlation has been studied on the secrecy performance. Useful insights into the system performance are obtained through the asymptotic analysis.
