Secrecy Outage Probability Analysis over Malaga-Malaga Fading Channels

Abstract

As a novel statistical model, Málaga distribution is proposed recently, which covers many commonly used fading models as special cases. The secure transmission of information over the Málaga fading channels has not been discussed in literature. In this paper, the secrecy outage probability (SOP) over the Málaga fading channels is investigated. Initially, an exact expression of the SOP is derived, which is with an integral term and can not be easily used in practice. To reduce its computational complexity, a closed-from expression for the lower bound of the SOP is then obtained. Numerical results that illustrate the effect of the Málaga fading on system performance are provided. The accuracy of the performance analysis is verified by simulations.
