【 摘 要 】

Node selection is a simple technique to achieve diversity and thereby enhance the physical layer security in future wireless communication systems which require low complexity. High-speed data transmission often encounters frequency selective fading. In this context, we evaluate the exact closed-form expression for the ergodic secrecy rate (ESR) of the optimal source-destination pair selection scheme with single-carrier cyclic-prefix modulation, where the destination and eavesdropper channels both exhibit independent frequency selective fading with an arbitrary number of multipath components. A simplified analysis in the high-SNR scenario along with an asymptotic analysis is also provided. We also derive and compare the corresponding results for the sub-optimal source-destination pair selection scheme. We show that our analysis produces the corresponding ESR results under narrowband independent Nakagami-m fading channels with any arbitrary integer parameter m. The effect of transmitters, destination, and eavesdropping paths correlation on the ESR is also demonstrated. Our solution approach is general and can be used to find the ESR of a wider variety of transmitter selection schemes.
