Secrecy Performance Analysis for SIMO Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer Systems

In this paper, a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer system consisting of one base station, one desired information receiver and N (N > 1) energy-harvesting receivers is considered. Each link in the considered system suffers not only from small-scale fading but also path-loss. In particular, we focus on the physical layer security performance including secrecy outage and secrecy capacity in the presence of eavesdroppers. We derive the closed-form analytical expression for the exact and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability while considering each eavesdropping link experiences independent but not necessarily identical Rayleigh fading. The closed-form analytical expression for the average secrecy capacity has also been derived for the case that all eavesdropping links experience independent and identical Rayleigh fading. Numerical and Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to verify our derived analytical models.
