Localizing Jammers and Jammers Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Established jamming works do not find radio interferer and jammer location information. Moreover, this knowledge can provide networks with very useful insights to control its resource and protect against radio interference. Below, we consider ways of detecting radio interferers in wireless networks. We achieved the feasibility of using two existing range-free location-algorithms, centroid location and centroid weighted locations to locate the jammer 's spot. Hence, we create a virtual force iterative localization that iteratively estimates a jammer 's position by collecting the topology of the network. The results of comprehensive simulation have shown that VFIL is a smaller amount sensitive to node densities and can achieve greater precision when locating the location of jammers associated with centroid-based approaches.
