Abstract:
MANETs will play a critical role for communication in future battlefields. However, wireless communications, especially MANETs are susceptible to jamming. While MANETs will adapt to continuous jamming, intermittent jamming can disrupt the routing protocol. In the intermittent case, the network topology during non-jamming is generally quite different from the one during jamming. In the case of jamming by the enemy, one can use physical means to stop the jamming. However, in recent conflicts, jamming by friendly forces has been widely used. In this paper, we propose the jamming-aware routing protocols for the friendly jamming scenario where the jamming schedule (i.e., when jamming is to occur) is known to the friendly mobile nodes, but hidden from all enemy mobile nodes. The key idea is that the routing protocol freezes during jamming, whereas it resumes during non-jamming. This simple, but very effective, algorithm significantly improves the packet delivery ratio and other metrics compared to other routing protocols where the categories of the routing protocols considered are proactive and unicast with single-path or multipath. Finally, this paper concludes with a discussion on a routing protocol, which combines game-theoretic routing with jamming detection and probabilistic forwarding to avoid and overcome malicious jamming.
