Abstract

Wireless sensor networks WSNs consist of a group of distributed monitor nodes working autonomously together cooperatively to achieve a common goal. Generally they face many threats, threatening the security and integrity of such networks. Jamming attacks are one of the most common attacks used against WSNs. In this paper we discuss the jamming attack and defense mechanisms proposed by two papers and suggest improvements on those four approaches.
