A Jammer Deployment Method for Multi-hop Wireless Network Based on Degree Distribution

In recent years, Multi-Hop Wireless Network (MHWN) has been widely researched and deployed since it is a feasible architecture to realize pervasive network connection in complex network environment. As one of the hot research topics in MHWN, jamming attack has attracted much attention due to the fact that it is a simple but effective attack method to reduce the throughput of MHWN. The current jamming attack methods are mostly proposed from the perspective of time or frequency domain. In contrast, as a non-negligible problem, jammers' spatial deployment has drawn much little attention. In order to bridge this gap, this paper firstly formulates the problem of jammer deployment. Secondly, a jammer deployment method based on network degree distribution theory is put forward. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is validated through a series of simulation experiments.
