Secrecy Capacity of the Extended Wiretap Channel II with Noise

The secrecy capacity of an extended communication model of wiretap channelII is determined. In this channel model, the source message is encoded into a digital sequence of length N and transmitted to the legitimate receiver through a discrete memoryless channel (DMC). There exists an eavesdropper who is able to observe arbitrary μ = N α digital symbols from the transmitter through a second DMC, where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 is a constant real number. A pair of an encoder and a decoder is designed to let the receiver be able to recover the source message with a vanishing decoding error probability and keep the eavesdropper ignorant of the message. This communication model includes a variety of wiretap channels as special cases. The coding scheme is based on that designed by Ozarow and Wyner for the classic wiretap channel II
