Cournot Duopoly for Spoofing Attack in MIMO with the Adaptive Antenna System

Abstract

Wireless communication capacity & performance can be enhanced by Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. The signal transmitted in MIMO technology is affected by path loss, attenuation due to distance and interference. An unauthorized user known as spoofer between transmitter and receiver affects the performance of MIMO technology. An adaptive antenna technology (AAT) is proposed in this work to reduce path loss and attenuation of MIMO technology. A game theoretical approach known as Cournot duopoly is also proposed where an optimum number of transmitter and receiver antenna is used to reduce spoofing in MIMO technology.
