Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid visible light communication (VLC)-radio frequency (RF) system including a legitimate receiver (R) and an eavesdropper (E) is considered. R can harvest energy from the light emitted by light emitting diodes (LEDs), which is used for the information transmission between R and the RF receiver which is close to the LED. It is assumed that E tries to eavesdrop the information delivered from R to the RF receiver and R is with a finite energy storage. Considering the randomness of the locations of R and E, the statistical characteristics of the received signal-to-noise ratio at the RF receiver and E are characterized; then, we derive the analytical expression for secrecy outage probability by using stochastic geometry method. Finally, simulations are carried on to verify our proposed analytical models.
