Countering Selective Jamming Attacks in Wireless Networks .

Wireless Networks constituting a large number of nodes are becoming viable solution to many challenging commercial, domestic, and military applications. Wireless Networks collect and disseminate information from the fields where ordinary networks are unreachable for various environmental and strategic reasons. Wireless networking has emerged as one of the most promising concept for auto-configurable and self-organizing wireless networking to provide flexible and adaptive wireless connectivity to mobile users. Wireless networks can be vulnerable to active and also passive attacks. These types of attacks include Denial- of- Service (DoS), Man- in- the- Middle (MITM), spoofing, jamming, war driving, network hijacking, packet sniffing, and many more. This paper presents a way for countering selective jamming attacks in wireless networks.
