Secure Wireless Powered Communications Under Fisher-Snedecor $\mathcal{F}$ Fading Channels

This paper investigates the performance of wireless powered communication (WPC) systems from a physical layer security (PLS) viewpoint. With that aim, By considering the Fisher-Snedecor
$\mathcal{F}$
distribution as the underlying fading model for all channels, we derive closed-form expressions for the average secrecy capacity (ASC) and the secrecy outage probability (SOP). The derived expressions are formulated using the bivariate Fox's If-function, providing a mathematical framework to analyze the secrecy performance of WPC systems. The accuracy of the obtained analytical results is further validated by Monte-Carlo simulation, which provides valuable insights for the design and optimization of WPC systems under Fisher-Snedecor
$\mathcal{F}$
fading model.
