On the Analysis of Secrecy Outage Probability Using Average Channel Capacity

In this article, we analyze the outage probability of physically secure wireless signal transmission in fading environments where both primary and eavesdropper channels are subject to generalized fading. We propose a novel approach using the average channel capacity of the primary channel and that of the eavesdropper channel to the outage probability of physically secure wireless signaling.Keywords: Average channel capacity, secrecy outage probability, performance analysis, physical layer security.
