Maximize resource utilization based channel access model with presence of reactive jammer for underwater wireless sensor network

Abstract

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) are vulnerable to jamming attacks. Especially, reactive jamming which emerged as a greatest security threat to UWSNs. Reactive jammer are difficult to be removed, defended and identified. Since reactive jammer can control and regulate (i.e., the duration of the jam signal) the probability of jamming for maintaining high vulnerability with low detection probability. The existing model are generally designed considering terrestrial wireless sensor networks (TWSNs). Further, these models are limited in their ability to detect jamming correctly, distinguish between the corrupted and uncorrupted parts of a packet, and be adaptive with the dynamic environment. Cooperative jamming model has presented in recent times to utilize resource efficiently. However, very limited work is carried out using cooperative jamming detection. For overcoming research challenges, this work present Maximize Resource Utilization based Channel Access (MRUCA). The MRUCA uses cross layer design for mitigating reactive jammer (i.e., MRUCA jointly optimizes the cooperative hopping probabilities and channel accessibility probabilities of authenticated sensor device). Along with channel, load capacity of authenticated sensor device is estimated to utilize (maximize) resource efficiently. Experiment outcome shows the proposed MRUCA model attain superior performance than state-of-art model in terms of packet transmission, BER and Detection rate.

“…A large percentage of the primary studies are focused on addressing a particular threat or group of attacks, proposing new algorithms 17,37,46 and security models. 30,44,49 The other papers are focused on demonstration and classification of attacks and threats, such as DoS, localization and routing attacks, 26,27,32 as well as presenting security issues and key research challenges. 13,16,23 These studies are mostly evaluated using simulations.…”

Resource allocation optimization for mitigating multi-jammer in underwater sensor network

“…The successful resource allocation design for mitigating multi-jammers in UWSN is discussed in this section. First, the cross-layer architecture introduced in our previous work [22], [23] is adopted by this work. Secondly, the existence of several jammers in UWSN addresses the issue of resource maximization.…”
