Abstract

We propose and analyze transmit antenna selection with receive generalized selection combining (TAS/GSC) for physical layer security enhancement in multiple-input multiple-output wiretap channels. In this protocol, a single antenna out of NA antennas is selected at the transmitter and L B antennas out of NB antennas are combined at the legitimate receiver. We characterize the physical layer secrecy of TAS/GSC via our new closed-form expressions for the exact and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability. We demonstrate that the maximum secrecy outage diversity gain of NA NB is achieved.
