A Multi-Domain Anti-Jamming Defense Scheme in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the anti-jamming problem in heterogeneous wireless networks. Although there are many studies on the anti-jamming defense problem in both power domain and spectrum domain, these two important aspects were addressed separately. In this paper, to cope with the jamming attacks flexibly, we study the anti-jamming defense problem from a multi-domain perspective, which includes both power domain and spectrum domain, and a multi-domain anti-jamming scheme (MDAS) is proposed. To be more specific, a Stackelberg power game is formulated in the power domain to fight against the jamming attacks, and a multi-armed bandit-based channel selection with a channel switching cost and unknown channel availability state information is formulated in the spectrum domain. Besides, we analyze the performance of the formulated Stackelberg power game and derive the optimal power strategy and utility of a legitimate user. In addition, it is proved that the proposed anti-jamming scheme has a logarithmic regret. Finally, extensive simulations are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed MDAS.
