Secrecy outage analysis over random beamforming transmission with user scheduling: Collusion vs. exclusion
Abstract
In this letter, we study the interacting effects of the exclusion zone and eavesdropper colluding strategy on the secrecy performance of multiple-antenna transmission system. In particular, a base station (BS) applies random beamforming and user scheduling to enhance the legitimate user channel while multiple eavesdroppers try, either individually or jointly, to overhear the transmitted signal. We derive the closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the system with and without exclusion zone under different colluding strategies. Through selected numerical examples, we develop the design guideline on the size of the exclusion zone for a target security level subject to eavesdroppers' density and colluding strategy.
