Network-coded cooperation for a two-user wiretap channel

We evaluate the secrecy outage probability of a two-user network-coded cooperative network in the presence of an eavesdropper. We show through theoretic and numerical analyses that the secrecy can be increased through the use of network coding when compared to the direct transmission and traditional cooperative techniques.
