Resource management with anti-jamming capability for cognitive space communication systems

In this paper, we develop an efficient design for a decision engine (DE) with anti-jamming (AJ) capability for advanced wideband satellite communication (SATCOM) systems. Our goal is to design a decision engine that evaluates the statistical observations of spectrum and link metrics provided by the co-located dynamic spectrum access (DSA) components. Upon the evaluation of the observations provided by the DSA and based on the jamming scenario, the DE provides the best AJ tactics and sends the selected radio policy to DSA for execution. We propose an AJ mechanism that uses one or multiple tactics to provide the system with an optimal defense strategy. These tactics include adaptation in frequency and adaptation in power. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed AJ decision engine design.
