Jamming attacks like constant jamming, deceptive jamming, random jamming and reactive jamming disrupt the normal operation of nodes in wireless sensor networks thereby drastically affecting the network throughput, delay and energy consumption by sending random signals in the network without following the underlying Media Access Control rules.These signals collide with the legitimate signals causing undue traffic in the network leading to Denial of Service Attack.This work provides a model for the different jamming attacks experienced in wireless sensor networks using Unified Modeling Language.Modeling the different jamming attacks would help in better description of their behavior and strategy.Established models can be employed in the design of jamming detection and mitigation framework for DoS attacks mitigation in wireless sensor networks that involve sensors which are known to have limited and constrained resources.
