Comprehensive Framework for Physical Layer Analysis over Generalized-Lognormal composite Fading channels

Abstract Physical layer security is a feasible solution to improve wireless communication secrecy against eavesdropping threats. Within this framework, this work examines the secrecy performance of a wireless link subjected to eavesdropping over generalized composite fading environments, specifically using the α-η-µ/Lognormal and α-κ-µ/Lognormal distributions. Closed-form results are derived for key secrecy performance metrics, including the average secrecy capacity (ASC), a lower bound on the secrecy outage probability SOPL, and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC). Additionally, asymptotic analyses of ASC, SOPL, and SPSC are presented in the high-SNR regime to yield simplified insights into system behavior. The analysis accommodates arbitrary and independent fading conditions for the main and eavesdropper channels, thereby enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of various channel parameters. Ultimately, all analytical outcomes are corroborated using comprehensive Monte Carlo simulations, affirming their precision and relevance.
