traffic in Wireless Networks Presenter: Yinglin Sun Oct 7, 2008 Wireless Jamming • Wireless jamming aims at blocking wireless communication by keeping the medium busy or by corrupting received signal using radio interference. • Attack strategies – Scanning: Attack radio keeps hopping until it finds a channel that has legitimate activity. It will stay until it detects lack of activity. – Sweeping: Attackers periodically and simultaneously switch channels irrespective of channel activity, and jam until the next period. Channel Hopping • There are some orthogonal radio channels in many wireless standards. – 802.11a: 12 channels, 802.15.4: 16 channels • Channel hopping, whereby radios switch channels to escape jamming, has been proposed to mitigate jamming. – Reactive hopping: each radio stays at current channel till jamming is detected. – Proactive hopping: radios switch channels periodically. Course project ideas • Tune up jamming defense strategies based on c hannel hopping for real-time traffic in wireless ne tworks, like VoIP, streaming video. • Set up a real experimental wireless network to d o experiments • What we have – 5 PCI wireless cards, 1 USB wireless adapter – Sender & receiver: Switched channels with Wireless t ools for Linux – Jammer: working on modifying madwifi driver to bypa ss MAC-layer protocols • Looking for a teammate Thanks Question 1 • Which defense strategy (reactive or proactive) a chieves the best jamming resiliency under a give n system and attack scenario?
• Sherif Khattab showed reactive defense p
rovides better jamming tolerance than proactive when considering communication availability in multi-radio wireless networks with simulation. Multi-radio wireless network • Multi-radio wireless network can be used to increase overall netw ork capacity by exploiting chann el diversity, and communication reliability by sending redundant data. • Error-correcting Codes (ECC): (n, m) – Augmented data is divided into n pi eces and sent out. – Any m of n pieces can restore origi nal data. • Trade-off between goodput and reliability Question 2 • How to maximizing network goodput under jamm ing attacks in multi-radio networks by combining channel-hopping and error-correcting codes(EC C)?
• Sherif described the solution space , deve
loped a model of the reactive channel-hopping d efense against the scanning jamming attack, an d validated it with simulation experiments.
