Secrecy Performance Analysis for Hybrid Satellite Terrestrial Relay Networks with Multiple Eavesdroppers

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of hybrid satellite terrestrial relay networks (HSTRN) with multiple eavesdroppers, particularly, all nodes in the networks are equipped with single antenna, respectively. In addition, we propose two selection schemes in the networks, namely, Case I, which means choosing the larger secrecy capacity among Satellite-Relay and Relay-Destination; Case II, which is choosing the lower secrecy capacity among Satellite-Relay and Relay-Destination. Furthermore, we derive the closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the HSTRN based on the proposed two selection schemes, which provide a fast means to evaluate the impact of system parameters and selection schemes on the secrecy system performance. In order to study the impact of system parameters and selection schemes at high SNRs, we obtain the asymptotic expressions of the SOP of the HSTRN. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the analysis described in this paper, simulation results are given.
