  Abstract

This paper analyzes the benefit of using directional antennas against eavesdropping attack in millimeter wave (mmWave)-based networks. All devices are equipped with a directional antenna or an omni-directional antenna in a single-hop communications. The probability of a device being detected by an eavesdropper is analyzed based on the exposure region of a device. The relative detection rate is introduced to represent the benefit of using directional antenna. Numerical results show that there exists an optimal number of devices that maximizes the detection probability and it varies according to the parameters such as antenna beamwidth. It shows that the use of directional antenna enables to protect the devices from the detection by an eavesdropper for almost the whole situation in mmWave band communication.
