Assessing Anti-Jamming Performance of Directional Wireless Links

Abstract

Directional wireless links are seeing increasing importance in tactical networking, to which anti-jamming (a part of spectrum dominance) is a critical requirement. However, current literature lack adequate metrics to measure anti-jamming (AJ) capabilities of a directional receiver. This paper proposes three AJ metrics that are both operationally relevant and with enough generality to provide design guidance. These metrics enable performance comparison under three classes of use cases.
