Interferometric Ranging System with Hopped Frequencies (IRHF) is a novel ranging technique with advanced anti-jamming capability in wireless sensor networks. This paper investigates the ranging performance of Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator of IRHF under multi-tone jamming (MTJ), which is a potential threat faced by wireless sensor nodes. Firstly, the jamming model with one malicious node tra...

We present a characterization of empirical price data from sponsored search auctions. We show that simple models drawing bid values independently from a fixed distribution can be tuned to match empirical data on average, but still fail to account for deviations observed in individual auctions. Hypothesizing that these deviations are due to strategic bidding, we define measures of “jamming” beha...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) is an infrastructureless/self-configurable system in which every node carries on as host or router and every node can participate in the transmission of packets. Because of its dynamic behaviour such system is more susceptible against various sorts of security threats, for example, Black hole, Wormhole , Jamming , Sybil, Byzantine attack and so on which may block ...

A method is introduced to simulate jamming of polyhedral grains under controlled stress that incorporates global degrees of freedom through the metric tensor of a periodic cell containing grains. Jamming under hydrostatic (isotropic) stress and athermal conditions leads to a precise definition of the ideal jamming point at zero shear stress. The structures of tetrahedra jammed hydrostatically e...

Recent theoretical advances have led to the creation of a unified phase diagram for the thermal glass and athermal jamming transitions. This diagram makes clear that, while related, the mode-coupling-or dynamic-glass transition is distinct from the jamming transition, occurring at a finite temperature and significantly lower density than the jamming transition. Nonetheless, we demonstrate a pre...

A cascaded reduced-dimension (RD) space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method for airborne multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) radar in the presence of jammers is proposed in this paper. The proposed MIMOSTAP method for clutter plus jamming suppression proceeds in two steps. Firstly, the jamming is suppressed by its orthogonal complementary subspace obtained in the passive radar mode, while t...

Performance degradation caused by channel dispersion can be mitigated using avoidance techniques such as frequency hopping spread spectrum. Adaptive frequency hopping techniques such as matched frequency hopping (MFH), clipped matched frequency hopping (CMFH) and advanced frequency hopping (AFH) have been introduced as efficient techniques in slowly fading dispersive channels. These techniques ...

This paper presents jamming and mitigation techniques, which can be used in relation to emerging military systems based on fifth-generation (5G) technology. Nowadays, 5G technology provides incremental improvements over Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks resulting the enhancement of civilian communications. Considering enormous possible applications this new technology, it is feasible use them ...

Quantum mechanics permits nonlocality—both nonlocal correlations and nonlocal equations of motion—while respecting relativistic causality. Is quantum mechanics the unique theory that reconciles nonlocality and causality? We consider two models, going beyond quantum mechanics, of nonlocality— “superquantum” correlations, and nonlocal “jamming” of correlations—and derive new results for the jammi...
