Definition
Jamming attack defense is a measure performed by wireless devices to ensure that information can be transmitted and received correctly despite deliberate jamming attempts. The jamming attack defense can be implemented in hardware or software forms.
Background
Spread spectrum techniques are the earliest known anti-jamming countermeasures and come in many forms. Among all forms, frequency-hopping is the first invention. In the early twentieth century, Nikola Tesla touched on the concept of frequency hopping in his 1903 US Patent 723,188 and 1903 US Patent 725,605. These patents involve altering the carrier frequency or other exclusive characteristics to achieve immunity to interference. Frequency hopping is also mentioned by radio pioneer Johannes Zenneck in his book “Wireless Telegraphy” (German, 1908, English translation McGraw Hill, 1915), by a...
