Dynamic Adaptive Anti-Jamming via Controlled Mobility
Xiaofan He, Huaiyu Dai, Peng Ning · IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications · 2014
In this paper, the mobility of network nodes is explored as a new promising approach for jamming defense. To fulfill it, properly designed node motion that can intelligently adapt to the jammer's action is crucial. In our study, anti-jamming mobility control is investigated in the context of the single and multiple commodity flow problems, in the presence of intelligent mobile jammers which can respond to the evasion of legitimate nodes as well. Based on spectral graph theory, two new spectral quantities, single- and multi-weighted Cheeger constants and corresponding eigenvalue variants, are constructed to direct motions of the defender and the attacker in this dynamic adaptive competition. Both analytical and simulation results are presented to justify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the proposed scheme can also be applied in cognitive radio networks to reconfigure the secondary users in the presence of mobile primary users.
