Radio Jamming Attacks Against Two Popular Mobile Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The dependence on Mobile Networks is growing. The success of the Internet was followed by Denial of Service attacks. What if the same happens to Mobile Networks? This paper gives an introduction to the concept of Radio Jamming and explores jamming resistance of two popular mobile networks: GSM and WLAN. Radio interfaces of the two systems are analysed and effective jamming-to-noise ratios are calculated. Based on the results, suggestions on how to increase the jamming resistance of the networks are given.

Security Approaches in IEEE 802.11 MANET
Evaluation of IEEE 802.11 Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) security issues becomes significant concern for researchers since Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are recognized as one of the most harmful threats. A variety of security mechanisms are proposed to solve security dilemma in MANETs against different layers of DoS attacks. Physical Layer jamming attacks exhaust the victim’s network resource...
متن کاملPJ6400: Mobile Collector in Defense against Jamming Attack
A jamming attack on a wireless network is an attack in which the adversary attempts to cause a denialof-service (DoS) by conducting simple, continuous or intermittent, transmission of high-power interfering signal. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are particular vulnerable to jamming attacks due to its natural characters. In our work, we propose to combat jamming attacks on WSNs through the depl...
متن کاملModeling 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...
متن کاملAn effective defensive node against jamming attacks in sensor networks
Jamming is defined as the act of intentionally directing electromagnetic energy towards a communication system to disrupt or prevent signal transmission. In the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), jamming is the type of attack which interferes with the radio frequencies used by sensor nodes and may be viewed as a special case of denial of service (DoS) attacks. Herein, we outline the po...
متن کاملMitigating 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...
