| الوصف: | The open nature of the wireless medium makes the wireless communication susceptible to eavesdropping attacks. In addition, fading and shadowing significantly degrade the performance of the communication system in the wireless networks. A versatile approach to circumvent the issues of eavesdropping attacks while exploiting the physical properties of the wireless channel is the so-called physical layer-security. In this work, we consider a model in which two legitimate users communicate in the presence of an eavesdropper. We investigate the performance of the wireless network at the physical layer that is subject to a variety of fading environments that may be modeled by the Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Generalized-K distributions, to mention a few. We use the secrecy outage probability (SOP) as the standard performance metrics to study the performance of the wireless networks. We propose two different approaches to compute the secrecy outage probability, and derive explicit expressions for the secrecy outage probability that allow us to characterize the performance of the wireless networks. Specifically, we use a direct integration approach as well as a Taylor series base approach to evaluate the secrecy outage probability. Finally, we use computer simulations, based on MATLAB, to confirm the analytical results. Includes bibliography. Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016.
