Managing Wireless Networks on the Battlefield and Combatting Jamming Attacks

Abstract

This project seeks to develop mathematical methods to allocate electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to tactical mobile adhoc networks in the presence of jamming. The thrust of this effort considers: (a) In the presence of jamming, what are the tradeoffs in accepting interference at radios located at various levels within the military hierarchy? (b) How should one assign channels to tactical radios in regions with expected jamming? And ?? What is the impact of keeping a pool of reserve channels, and how (and when) should these be allocated? This project builds on previous research (specifically, ONR grant # N00014-15-1-2176) that successfully developed fast, efficient methods of allocating spectrum in jamming free environments.
