Secrecy Analysis under Dual Correlated Rician Fading Employing Opportunistic Relays

Using a well-known wiretap model, secrecy outage probability is computed under dual correlated Rician fading employing opportunistic relays. A signal-to-noise ratio distribution of dual correlated Rician fading is first obtained as a function of four nested infinite summations, which (i) converges for a finite number of terms, and (ii) is employed to compute secrecy outage probability for a passive wiretapper. Relationships among important parameters are elaborated and explained. Proof for infinite summation convergence is also given, which realises the practicality of this work. Simulation results are shown to match theoretical predictions.
