“…Though commercial UEs are used for verification, evaluation is mainly focused on protocol implementations and core network signaling. Cyclic prefix and pilot jamming are evaluated for both up-and downlink in [8]. Measurements indicate that Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is more resilient against these types of attack than Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA).…”

Energy, water, health, transportation and emergency services act as backbones for our society. Aiming at high degrees of efficiency, these systems are increasingly automated, depending on communication systems. However, this makes these Critical Infrastructures prone to cyber attacks, resulting in data leaks, reduced performance or even total system failure. Beyond a survey of existing vulnerabilities, we provide an experimental evaluation of targeted uplink jamming against Long Term Evolution (LTE)'s air interface. Primarily, our implementations of smart attacks on the LTE Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) as well as on the radio access procedure are outlined and tested. In exploiting the unencrypted resource assignment process, these attacks are able to target and jam specific UE resources, effectively denying uplink access. Evaluation results reveal the criticality of such attacks, severely destabilizing Critical Infrastructures, while minimizing attacker exposure. Finally we derive possible mitigations and recommendations for 5G stakeholders, which serve to improve the robustness of mission critical communications and enable the design of resilient next generation mobile networks.

“…The purpose of the scrambling process is to prevent the target system from performing its functions completely or temporarily. Confusion of cellular communication systems can be defined as the operations performed to prevent the users from getting service from the mobile terminal (Kaplan et al, 2020;Alakoca et al, 2016).…”

“…In (Kaplan et al, 2020), the accomplishment of OFDM telecommunication in the presence of partial band mixing is exhibited. The anti-jamming attribute of clustered OFDM has been investigated in (Alakoca et al, 2016), and (Li et al, 2017) gives a detailed work on the partial band scrambling effect on OFDM schemes. Notwithstanding all the revealed studies, there has not been a comprehensive research on the influences of distinctive mixing schemes for OFDM technologies.…”

In this article, the accomplishment of OFDM systems under different jamming attacks is analyzed. Partial band jamming signal suppressing OFDM data packets partially and full band jamming signal suppressing all OFDM data packets are examined in this study. Computer simulation works are carried out to analyze the achievement of the OFDM system over AWGN and frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels under both jamming attacks. In addition, comparative performance analysis of different equalizer structures in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel environment is performed. From the obtained results, it is seen that frequency domain equalizers combat jamming attack signals in the best way and provide the best performances.
