Physical‐layer security over generalised‐ K fading channels

In this study, the secrecy performance of the classic Wyner's wiretap model over generalised‐ K fading channels is studied. The closed‐form expressions for the average secrecy capacity, the lower bound of secure outage probability, and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. The new expressions provide a unified form, which can handle several of the well‐known composite fading environments as special or limiting cases. Moreover, all the derived expressions are given in terms of Meijer's G ‐function, which can be simply realised in MATLAB and MATHEMATICA. Monte‐Carlo simulations are performed to verify the proposed analysis models.
