Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a new denial-of-service attack on wireless networks: low-power, distributed jamming network (DJN). DJN is composed of large number of low-power jamming devices, which are deployed in proximity to the target devices. DJN can cause significant damage to target network performance with high energy efficiency. In the paper, we provide a characterization of DJN, demonstrate the effectiveness of DJN and provide a study on the impact of various DJN parameters on jamming effectiveness.
