Secrecy Performance of Overlay Cognitive Radio Inspired NOMA With Untrusted Secondary User by Swathi Priya Indraganti, Suseela Vappangi

“…Our analysis focuses on investigating the performance of this system in the presence of untrusted users, deriving novel closed-form solutions for various performance metrics such as ergodic capacity (EC), throughput, connection outage probability (COP), secrecy ergodic capacity (SEC), intercept probability (IP), effective secrecy throughput (EST), and secrecy outage probability (SOP) under different channel constraints. In addition, we present an optimal power allocation (OPA) strategy that enhances secrecy performance of the proposed system over Rayleigh fading channel. …”
