The secrecy outage performance of multiuser multiple-input-multipleoutput (MU-MIMO) transmit antenna selection systems is analysed, where some of the users overhear transmissions as long as they are not scheduled currently. A general closed-form expression of secrecy outage probability is derived by ordering the qualities of paths and calculating the joint probability density functions. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the different impacts of multiuser diversity and antenna diversity on the secrecy performance.Introduction: The emerging threat of security problems and the rapid advance of wireless technologies have sparked an increasing interest in the issue of physical layer security. Unlike conventional cryptography, the information-theoretic secrecy focuses on exploiting the potential of rate difference between channels to prevent information leakage even if the eavesdroppers have strong computation capabilities [1]. Multiple-antenna systems offer key advantages to combat eavesdropping but bring about challenges of tracking exact channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter's side [2]. As a simple alternative, transmit antenna selection (TAS) has been proposed to capture the advantages of antennas while keeping low-complexity and small-feedback rate [3,4]. It has been demonstrated that the secrecy diversity order is the product of the transmit antenna number, the receive antenna number and the fading parameter of the main channel. On the other hand, the users distributed in the network can also be viewed as equivalent virtual antennas [5]. With secrecy consideration, these spectrum-sharing users may also include some unfriendly ones who intend to overhear the secret message when they are not scheduled. Previous literature mainly focused on the worst scenario, in which all of the unscheduled users were seen as the eavesdroppers [6] or just treated them as the hostiles outside the network [7] such that the statistics were independent of the main channel. However, the secrecy outage probability, which is a useful metric to measure secrecy performance without needing exact CSI knowledge [1], has not been evaluated in the presence of an arbitrary number of eavesdropping users inside the network.In this Letter, we develop a framework to obtain a general closed-form expression of secrecy outage probability in a multiuser multiple-inputmultiple-output (MU-MIMO) TAS system. The joint probability density functions (PDFs) of the ordered signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and the weighting coefficients are given to derive the secrecy outage as a weighted sum. Numerical results show the validity of the theoretical analysis and reveal the secrecy impact of selection diversities.
