An Intelligent Technique to Detect Jamming Attack in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)

Abstract

Due to open share of physical medium, the wireless sensor networks have become vulnerable to jamming attacks. As such, attacks kindle strong interferences resulting in denial of service. This paper attempts to detect jamming attack, and a defence mechanism is proposed using artificial bee colony. The proposed method can be simulated using MATLAB. Simulation results expose the effectiveness of the proposed method which could defeat the jamming attack and maintain the considerable performance of the overall network.
