Jamming in underwater sensor networks: detection and mitigation

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) can be deployed for sensing the environment in oceanographic columns and other water bodies in which they are deployed. The peculiar characteristic of the underwater medium, coupled with the queer nature of the sound waves in water, poses an enigmatic problem for UWSN researchers. In this study, the authors focus on the problem of UWSN jamming, which is a popular type of denial-of-service attack. The existing...
