Packetized Wireless Communication under Jamming: A Game Theoretic Approach

The convenience of wireless communication and its support of mobility has revolutionized the way we access information services and interact with the physical world. Nevertheless, security issues of wireless communications remain a serious concern and among the many security threats that the wireless networks are subject to, physical layer jamming is one of the most prominent and challenging ones. Jamming not only can lead to service interruption or denial of service, but it is often a prelude to other upper layer attack. An important question is to understand the interactions between the communicating nodes and the adversary, determine the long-term achievable performance and the optimal strategies to achieve it. To address this problem, we develop a general game-theoretic framework for a packetized wireless communication link under power limited jamming that can be used to study many jamming problems.
