Interference engineering for network secrecy in Nakagami fading channels

The demand of communication confidentiality in wireless network is rapidly increasing. The level of confidentiality can be enhanced by physical layer techniques exploiting intrinsic properties of a wireless network. We develop a framework for design and analysis of wireless network with secrecy that accounts for node distribution, propagation medium, and intentional interference. The framework enables the quantification of how intentional interference generated via legitimate network resources engineering mitigates the capability of the eavesdropping network. This research provides insight on the opportunistic use of legitimate network resources for enhancing network secrecy.
