Anti-Jamming Low-Latency Channel Hopping Protocol for Cognitive Radio Networks

Modeling of the channel-hopping anti-jamming defense in multi-radio wireless networks

Multi-radio (multi-interface, multi-channel) 802.11 and sensor networks have been proposed to increase network capacity and to reduce energy consumption, to name only a few of their applications. They are vulnerable, however, to jamming attacks, in which attackers block communication by radio interference or MAC-protocol violation. Two jamming countermeasures have been proposed, namely software...

Markov Model Based Jamming and Anti-Jamming Performance Analysis for Cognitive Radio Networks

In this paper, we conduct a cross-layer analysis of both the jamming capability of the cognitiveradio-based jammers and the anti-jamming capability of the cognitive radio networks (CRN). We use a Markov chain to model the CRN operations in spectrum sensing, channel access and channel switching under jamming. With various jamming models, the jamming probabilities and the throughputs of the CRN a...

L2ER: Low-Latency and Energy-Based Routing Protocol for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks

Cognitive Radio Based Jamming Resilient Multi-channel MAC Protocol for Wireless Network

Radio jamming attack is the most effective and easiest Denial-of –Service (DOS) attack in wireless network. In this paper, we proposed a multi-channel MAC protocol to mitigate the jamming attacks by using cognitive radio. The Cognitive Radio (CR) technology supports real-time spectrum sensing and fast channel switching. By using CR technologies, the legitimate nodes can perform periodic spectru...

Mitigating jamming attacks in mobile cognitive networks through time hopping

5G wireless networks will support massive connectivity mainly due to device-to-device communications. An enabling technology for device-to-device links is the dynamical spectrum access. The devices, which are equipped with cognitive radios, are to be allowed to reuse spectrum occupied by cellular links. The dynamical spectrum availability makes cognitive users switch between channels. Switching...
