Security Against Multiple Eavesdroppers for Multicasting Over Nakagami-q Fading Channel

A confidential multicasting scenario is considered through Nakagami-q fading channels in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. We are interested to protect the confidential information so that no eavesdropper can decode any information from the multicast channels. A mathematical model is developed which consists of the closed-form analytical expressions for the ergodic secrecy multicast capacity and the secure outage probability for multicasting to ensure this security. Some numerical results are shown to justify the validity of the developed mathematical model. Moreover, the analytical expressions are verified via Monte-Carlo simulation.
