Impact of Correlation on the Security in Multicasting through κ - µ Shadowed Fading Channels

This paper focuse on the secrecy performance analysis over correlated κ - μ shadowed fading multicast channels considering a single input multiple output (SIMO) scenario. The proposed network consists of a single antenna source, and multiple receivers and eavesdroppers which are equipped with multiple antennas. The security analysis has been performed by developing a mathematical model and deriving the novel closed-form expressions(CFEs)of the performance matrices such as probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity (PNSMC) and secure outage probability for multicasting (SOPM). The secrecy capacity and outage characteristics of the multicast network has been investigated for the simultaneous presence of correlation and shadowing and it is observed that impact of each system parameter can be evaluated perfectly using the derived expressions. Finally, the analytical results has been verified by Monte-Carlo Simulations.
