| Abstract: | In the paper, we study the problem of secure connectivity for colluding eavesdroppers using relay selection in random wireless networks, where the relay nodes and eavesdroppers are all randomly distributed according to two independent Poisson point process. The decode‐and‐forward and randomize‐and‐forward two relay strategies are considered, and a new metric is defined for best relay selection and random relay selection. We derive closed‐form expressions for the secrecy outage probability for the two relay strategies. In particular, the effect of power allocation ratio and the maximum ratio combing at the destination node on the secrecy outage probability is demonstrated for the decode‐and‐forward relay strategy. Numerical results illustrate the secrecy performance gains with collaborative transmit diversity. © 2016 The Authors.
