Secrecy Performance Analysis in MISOSE Cognitive Radio Networks Over Correlated Fading Channels

Abstract

I265 this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of multi-input single-output and single-eavesdropper (MISOSE) cognitive radio (CR) networks over correlated fading channels. For the security enhancement, the transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme is used to select the best transmit antenna at Alice based on the main channel. In order to analyze the impact of channel correlation coefficient, interference temperature threshold and antenna numbers on the secrecy performance, we firstly derive the exact closed-form expression of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) for the considered system taking into account the correlation between the main channel and wiretapping channel. Moreover, to extract more deep insights, the asymptotic expression of SOP in high main-to-eavesdropper ratio (MER) regime is also derived, which reveals that the channel correlation does not degrade the secrecy diversity order and even can strengthen the secrecy performance in high MER regime. Finally, numerical results are provided to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of our analysis.
