Abstract :
Wireless secrecy is becoming crucial in many commercial and governmental sectors. In this paper, the secrecy capacity of a wireless channel is analyzed in the presence of intentional network interference for denial of eavesdropping capability (DEC). We propose two different DEC strategies employing the closest interferer and the multiple interferers. We show the impact of the network interference on average and outage of secrecy capacity for the two DEC strategies with and without eavesdropper´s countermeasures to create a region of interference neutralization. This work provides essentials for understanding how to increase wireless secrecy using intentional network interference.
