Abstract :
Recently several information theoretic communications investigations have focused on developing efficient ways to disrupt various wireless communications protocols. These include targeted jamming waveforms that intentionally target algorithms in the low layer PHY and MAC layer, which are more susceptible to certain observations than traditional jamming waveforms. In this effort we seek to demonstrate these results in a GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) based testbed, in which we can implement and measure the predicted efficacy of these methods against the theory.
