An Efficient Metric for Physical-layer Jammer Detection in Internet of Things Networks (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Abdollahi, M., Malekinasab, K., Tu, W., & Bag-Mohammadi, M. (2021). An Efficient Metric for Physical-layer Jammer Detection in Internet of Things Networks. In L. Khoukhi, S. Oteafy, & E. Bulut (Eds.), Proceedings of the IEEE 46th Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2021) (209-216). https://doi.org/10.1109/lcn52139.2021.9524936

An active jammer could severely degrade the communication quality for wireless networks. Since all wireless nodes openly access the shared media, the harsh effects are exaggerated by retransmission attempts of affected devices. Fast and precise detec...
