Millimeter-wave(Mmwave) networks with high directional antennas have enhanced security. However, eavesdroppers can still intercept confidential messages by residing in both signal main-lobe and side-lobe areas. This paper investigates the secrecy performance of artificial-noise (AN)-aided transmission in mmWave systems under the capacity-threshold on-off scheme in the presence of randomly distributed eavesdroppers, which utilizes AN to resist eavesdroppers in the side-lobe area. Considering the effects of mmWave channel characteristics, blockages, and directional antenna arrays, we derive the transmission probability (TP) and closed-form expression of secrecy outage probability (SOP) in the non-colluding eavesdropping scenario. What’s more, we derive the analytical expression of SOP in the colluding eavesdropping scenario and its lower bound. Specifically, we characterize the impacts of various system parameters on the secrecy performance and verify the contribution of AN-jamming to inhibiting side-lobe information leakage, meanwhile, the optimal power allocation of AN is analyzed in non-colluding scenarios. Besides, our results reveal that with the narrower main beam and higher antenna gain, the secrecy performance is enhanced significantly. The analytical and numerical results show that the capacity-based transmission scheme with AN-jamming can effectively improve the secrecy performance of mmWave systems.
