Detection and Localization of Wireless Jammer

Abstract

In recent years, wireless technology has become more advanced, popular and affordable. Because of this broad class of new applications such as traffic monitoring, patient tracking, patient monitoring, video conferencing, video surveillance cameras monitoring of places like public buildings, banks, malls, railway stations etc. has increased which utilizes wireless networks. These applications are totally depends on wireless communication for their successful deployment. Security is most important issue to avoid nuisance in both routine and critical communications services. One threat for the security of wireless network is jamming attack. Jamming attacks can severely affect the performance of Wireless Networks due to their broadcast nature. The most reliable solution to reduce the impact of such attacks is to detect and localize the source of the attack. This will help to take further security actions. This project aims to find the location of wireless jammer by simulation method using MATLAB software.
