Popis: The mutual information of the observed channel phase between devices can serve as an entropy source for secret key generation in line-of-sight scenarios. However, so far only simulated and numeric results were available. This paper derives the probability distribution of the channel phase and corresponding expressions for the mutual information. Moreover, the orientation distribution is optimized in order to maximize the mutual information. All presented results are validated numerically. These outcomes serve as a basis for further analytic investigations on the secret key generation rate and subsequent physical layer security performance analysis in line-of-sight scenarios, such as those encountered in drone-aided communications.
