Physical Layer Security Analysis for Cooperative Communication with Full-Duplex Relaying Under Nakagami-m Fading Model

We characterised the physical layer security of a three terminal cooperative network with full-duplex relaying under Nakagami-m channel analytically and through simulation. An eavesdropper also coexists within the system at an arbitrary distance from the transmitter. Using secrecy outage probability as a metric to characterise the secrecy performance, integral expression for the corresponding outage probability of the relevant communication link is derived. Furthermore, the secrecy outage probability with half-duplex relay is also analysed. Simulation results show that cooperative communication with FD relay has less secrecy outage even with the presence of residual self-interference than HD relay.
