Radio Jamming Attacks Against Two Popular Mobile Networks
Mika Ståhlberg · 2000
The dependence on Mobile Networks is growing. The success of the Internet was followed by Denial of Service attacks. What if the same happens to Mobile Networks? This paper gives an introduction to the concept of Radio Jamming and explores jamming resistance of two popular mobile networks: GSM and WLAN. Radio interfaces of the two systems are analysed and effective jamming-to-noise ratios are calculated. Based on the results, suggestions on how to increase the jamming resistance of the networks are given.
