On Physical Layer Security of Double Rayleigh Fading Channels for Vehicular Communications

In this letter, we study the physical layer secrecy performance of the classic Wyner’s wiretap model over double Rayleigh fading channels for vehicular communications links. We derive novel and closed-form expressions for the average secrecy capacity (ASC) taking into account the effects of fading, path loss, and eavesdropper location uncertainty. The asymptotic analysis for ASC is also conducted. The derived expressions can be used for secrecy capacity analysis of a number of scenarios including vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) communications. The obtained results reveal the importance of taking the eavesdropper location uncertainty into consideration while designing V2V communication systems.
