The Effect of Increasing the Number of Transceivers in an Anti-jamming Channel-Hopping Scheme

—In this paper, we analyze a channel-hopping scheme under a smart jamming attack in wireless military communication systems. In particular, we focus on the effect of using multiple transceivers in channel-hopping schemes and compare them with the case of a single transceiver. To evaluate the performance of the multiple transceiver system, we present an analytical model that can calculate the average jammed time when a channel is detected by a smart jammer; consequently network throughput can also be computed. The numerical results show that the multiple transceiver system achieves a significantly higher throughput than the single transceiver system. It is also shown that the effect of increasing the number of transceivers in anti-jamming channel-hopping scheme improves network throughput.
