Abstract:
In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance
of maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity scheme over
Nakagami-m fading channels. Closed form expressions for probability of existence of positive secrecy (PEPS) and lower bound on
secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived. We also analyse
the secrecy diversity order of the system and concluded that
the secrecy diversity order is mM. The derived expressions are
validated by the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations.
The lower bound on SOP evaluated from the derived expressions
are found accurately tight from the excellent agreement between
analytical and simulation results.
