Abstract

In this paper, the physical layer security of applying non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in large-scale networks is investigated. In the considered scenario, both the NOMA users and eavesdroppers are spatially randomly deployed. A protected zone around the source node is adopted to enhance the security of a random network. In order to characterize the secrecy performance of the considered scenario, new exact and asymptotic expressions for the security outage probability are derived. These analytical results demonstrate that the secrecy diversity order is m, which is determined by the user with poor channel condition. Monte Carlo simulations are provided to verify the derived analytical results. Furthermore, it is also confirmed that the secure performance of the NOMA networks can be improved by either enlarging the scope of the protected zone or reducing the scope of the user zone.
