Abstract
In this chapter, we consider highly efficient anti-jamming system design using secure dynamic spectrum access control. First, we present a collision-free frequency hopping (CFFH) system based on the OFDMA framework and an innovative secure subcarrier assignment scheme. The secure subcarrier assignment algorithm is designed to ensure that (i) each user hops to a new set of subcarriers in a pseudorandom manner at the beginning of each hopping period, (ii) different users always transmit on non-overlapping sets of subcarriers, and (iii) malicious users cannot predict or repeat the hopping pattern of the authorized users and hence cannot launch follower jamming attacks. That is, the CFFH scheme can effectively mitigate the jamming interference, including both random jamming and follower jamming. Moreover, CFFH has the same high spectral efficiency as that of the OFDM system and can relax the complex frequency synchronization problem suffered by conventional FH. We further enhance the anti-jamming property of CFFH by incorporating the space-time coding (STC) scheme. The enhanced system is referred to as STC-CFFH. Our analysis indicates that the combination of space-time coding and CFFH is particularly powerful in eliminating channel interference and hostile jamming interference, especially random jamming. Simulation examples are provided to illustrate the performance of the presented schemes. Potentially, the CFFH scheme provides a promising solution for secure and efficient spectrum sharing among different users and services in cognitive networks.
