Multiple-nodes based cooperative jamming detection for reactive follower jamming in ISAC

Abstract

Accurate jamming detection is a prerequisite and important support for efficient anti-jamming communication in integrated sensing and communications. In recent years, the reactive follower jamming, characterized by the high jamming efficiency and the difficulty of detection, is seen as the main opponent for frequency hopping spread spectrum communication, which poses a threat to the reliability of wireless communication. Based on the background, a multiple-nodes based cooperative jamming detection scheme is proposed for accurately detecting the reactive follower jamming. Specifically, the secondary nodes send the average energy of the suspected attacked symbols to the primary user as the uplink data in each detection period, and then the detection result is provided by the detection threshold. The optimal detection threshold is derived for the primary user according to the uplink data and channel conditions. In addition, the theoretical probability of detection under the optimal threshold is derived, and the complexity of the scheme is analysed. Simulation results show that the proposed multiple-nodes based cooperative jamming detection scheme for reactive follower jamming can effectively improve the probability of detection.
