Abstract

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with transmit antenna selection (TAS) and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) over generalized α-μ fading. In the underlying wireless communication system, a single antenna is selected to transmit confidential messages to a multi-antenna receiver in the presence of a passive multi-antenna eavesdropper. In our analysis, new closed-form expressions are obtained for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC), and are subsequently corroborated through Monte Carlo simulations to assess their validity. Moreover, asymptotic studies of the secrecy outage probability are derived and explicitly show the effects of various system parameters on the secrecy diversity gain.
