Abstract

In this paper, when transmit antenna selection (TAS) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) schemes are deployed for secrecy enhancement, the impact of channel correlation on secrecy performance is investigated over Rayleigh fading channels. Specially, both the exact and asymptotic secrecy outage probability (SOP) for TAS/MRC are derived based on a novel correlation model, where the correlated legitimate channels and eavesdropper channels are modeled as a set of conditional independent channel gains. Moreover, the lower bound of SOP is obtained in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. Finally, simulation results verify our analysis, and show that the channel correlation between the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper is beneficial to the SOP at high SNR.
