Dual Connectivity in Decoupled Aerial HetNets With Reverse Frequency Allocation and Clustered Jamming

Interference Characterization in Cellular-Assisted Vehicular Communications With Jamming

“…Thus, the legitimate communication in vehicular networks is disrupted by intentional-jamming created by groundjammers. Similar to [14], [15], we consider ground-jammers that can jam signals at multiple frequencies (e.g., they can jam F1 and F2 in Fig. 1) and can be modeled using a Matern cluster process (MCP) J which consists of parents (or number of jamming clusters) with density λ j and children (or number of ground-jammers in each cluster) with cluster-radius R j such that the density of ground-jammers in a network is given as λ J = λ j c, where c is the average number of children (or ground-jammers) per cluster.…”

“…dx and a is the PGF of clustered-jammers. The PGF is simplified in [14], [15] for clustered-jammers as…”

“…For instance, communication between a platoon of tanks or armored ground vehicles can be disrupted by jamming attacks, if jammers are intentionally placed in the vicinity. Similarly, the performance of the aerial vehicles can be disrupted by jammers, if jammers are located in the region-of-interest [14], [15]. The most common types of jamming attacks in vehicular communications include denial of service (DoS), Sybil attack, malware, spam, man in the middle attack (MiM), etc.…”

“…To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first research effort to investigate intentional-jamming for cellular-assisted vehicular communications. Particularly, we consider intentional-jamming due to clusters by modeling jammers as a clustering process [14], [15] and investigate networks' performance by modeling cellular BSs as a homogeneous PPP; while vehicles, pedestrians, and RSUs as a PLP [4], [5]. The novel contributions of this paper include i) Investigating the effect of jamming interference due to multiple clustered-jammers in cellular-assisted vehicular communications.…”
