Performance of Secure Communications Over Correlated Fading Channels

We study the performance of secure communications over correlated fading channels in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the main and eavesdropper channels are correlated. We derive exact expressions for both the average secrecy capacity and the outage probability in the form of infinite series. Moreover, the truncated error of the infinite series representations involved in the analytical results is also investigated. The accuracy of our performance analysis is verified by simulation results.
