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

چکیده
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 spectrum sensing to identify jamming free channels and when the jamming attack is detected, it can switch to un-jammed channel with minimum channel switching delay. In our proposed protocol, these two CR technologies are exploited for thwarting the jamming attacks.

Multi-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

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...

Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...
متن کاملTARMAC: Traffic-Analysis Reslient MAC Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Networks
Traffic analysis in Multi-hop Wireless Networks can expose the structure of the network allowing attackers to focus their efforts on critical nodes. For example, jamming the only data sink in a sensor network can cripple the network. We propose a new communication protocol that is part of the MAC layer, but resides conceptually between the routing layer and MAC, that is resilient to traffic ana...
