Analysis of Swarm Intelligent Based Defense Algorithm for Detecting Jamming Attack in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNS)

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most widely used technologies in our daily lives. However, since wireless sensor networks are based on communication within radio channels, WSNs are susceptible to malicious attempts to block the channel. One of the most frequently used attacks is a jamming attack. This type of attack not only blocks the ongoing communication but also exhaust the energy of the sensor nodes. This paper attempts to detect jamming attack and defense mechanism is proposed through intelligent system. The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB. According to the simulation results obtained, the intelligent system detects jamming attack with high detection rate of 99.8% and low false positive rate.
