Abstract
The deployment of LoRaWAN on the Internet of Things (IoT) has increased since its advent and LoRaWAN now predominates the IoT market over other Low Powered Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). However, since LoRaWAN uses Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS), it is susceptible to wideband jamming attacks. In this paper, we demonstrate with experiments and concrete numerical results that jamming US915 LoRaWAN frequency is possible by the usual data transmission and reception process of 900MHz Canopy, one of the legacy 900MHz network device. Intentional attack is possible in the same manner. The experiments emulate the real-world environment operated in medical and agriculture industries, in outdoor and indoor conditions, respectively. In addition, this paper introduces and utilizes the novel metric, Jamming Effect (JE), that indicates the network performance of wireless networks that spread the data on air.
