Dynamic Jamming of Networks

Abstract

The problem addressed in this report is the intelligent, topology- selective jamming of spread-spectrum networks. The key goal has been to develop analytical and simulation tools which quantify the effect of jamming strategies upon the network operation, both at the link-access and the end-to-end layer. The purpose of these tools (called herein 'the AJ network analyzer') is to help study the tradeoffs between the jammers' strategies and choices, versus the corresponding choices of the communicators (users). An important feature of the analyzer is the modular incorporation of any jammer/user interaction at the physical (waveform) level within the analyzer framework, so that a variety of modulation/coding/spreading/jamming formats could be studied with regard to their impact upon the higher-layer performance measures.
