Abstract

The broadcast nature of wireless links makes wireless communication extremely vulnerable to jamming attacks. There has been a significant body of research in the literature that addresses jamming attacks at different layers of the network, exploiting various layer-specific techniques. However, these separate efforts have never been integrated, examined and optimized in a cross-layer manner. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer anti-jamming system to achieve optimized network throughput in a multi-channel multi-hop multi-path wireless network. Specifically, we formulate the routing and scheduling problem as a linear programming problem, the solution of which provides an upper bound on the feasible effective network throughput for the joint routing, scheduling and traffic allocation protocols. Based on this solution, we further propose a learning based dynamic channel assignment scheme to approximate the achievable network throughput. Simulation studies are also performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed anti-jamming scheme under different jamming strategies.
