Abstract: As Vehicular Networks based technologies are in the close proximity of deployment for various wireless applications under proposal worldwide, this research paper proposes secrecy capacity analysis for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) based Vehicular Network. The proposed network model has a fixed infrastructure comprising of source node, destination node incorporated with single antenna and passive eavesdropper forming the scenario. RIS based Vehicular communication links are modelled by Rayleigh fading for source-to RIS link and RIS to destination Vehicle, whereas Eavesdropper channel links are Double-Rayleigh amplitude distribution, induced by double scattering in the channel. For this scenario, we derive the closed-form expressions for the average Secrecy Capacity and Secrecy Outage Probability (SOP) of the considered system. Though, Secrecy Capacity analysis is an excellent performance metric for assessing eavesdropper based system, it has been reported by various research works, this research paper differentiates from other research papers by considering different secrecy rates and different distances of eavesdropper as presented in simulation. Further, to validate the obtained simulation results, theoretical results are also derived for assessing performance of SOP for various secrecy rates which is the highlight of this research paper and it can be used as benchmark for various research works to proceed further.
Keywords: Channel capacity, rayleigh fading channel, vehicular network, secrecy outage probability.
