Jamming-Resilient adaptive network protocol in wireless networks

Abstract

Jamming and interference are significant problems in wireless networks including sensor networks and tactical military networks. Recently, intelligent jamming schemes have been introduced to enhance the jamming capability based on the understanding of protocols, while ensuring energy efficiency. In this paper, we examine how to mitigate the effect of the intelligent jamming method and present an adaptive network-layer jamming resilient scheme. We show the proposed scheme achieves reliable data delivery as well as reduces control overhead in the face of the intelligent jamming.
