Cooperative Transmission Strategy for Industrial IoT Against Interference Attacks

This article considers a physical layer-based security strategy to achieve specifics cyber security target levels for resource-constrained industrial Internet of Things (IoT) devices affected by interference attacks. To achieve target information availability measures during adversarial interference, a cooperative communication scheme between select industrial IoT devices is proposed in order to limit signal outages and to reduce the impact of interference attacks on the industrial IoT devices. The analytical and numerical analysis in this article demonstrate the ability of the proposed cooperative transmission strategy to achieve target information availability levels during interference attacks on industrial IoT devices.
