Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are susceptible to jamming attacks due to the shared wireless medium. The jammer can disrupt any specific or entire radio frequency based on its function and strategies. Locating the jammer location is very important against the jamming in the wireless network and restore the communication channel. To support the existing anti-jamming techniques, we proposed an algorithm based on the Extended Kalman filter (EKF) and power received to track the jammer. Detecting jammer location is the first step taking to defend such attacks. Besides, estimating jammer location supports a wide range of defense. Range-based jammer localization technique based on the received power is used in this work to detect the external malicious node location by designed the position, velocity, and acceleration approach of Extended Kalman filter. An extensive simulation conducted to evaluate the performance of EKF compares to the Virtual Force Iteration Localization (VFIL), Weighted Centroid Localization (WCL), and Centroid Localization algorithms (CL). The EKF proves to be of high efficiency in comparison to VFIL, WCL, and CL.
