The issue of physical layer security for the wireless communication with slow fading is addressed in this paper, and the secrecy outage performance is concerned. The system is modeled as a wiretap channel, and each of the transmitter and receivers is equipped with a single antenna. The channel state information (CSI) about the channel from the transmitter to the legitimate receiver (the main channel) is assumed to be perfectly known by the transmitter and the receivers, while the transmitter does not know the CSI about the channel from the transmitter to the eavesdropper (the eavesdropper's channel) but its probability density PDF). Differing from the fixed secrecy rate scheme and the on/off scheme in the literature, this paper adaptively chooses the secrecy rate. The secrecy rate for each value of the main channel gain is determined by the required secrecy outage probability and the PDF of the eavesdropper's channel, and the secrecy throughput is maximized under the constraint of the transmit power for the required secrecy outage probability. The quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel is used to compare our scheme with the two existing schemes, and simulation results show that our scheme outperforms them when small secrecy outage probabilities are required.
