Eavesdropping and Jamming Selection Policy for Suspicious UAVs Based on Low Power Consumption over Fading Channels

Abstract

Traditional wireless security focuses on preventing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications from suspicious eavesdropping and/or jamming attacks. However, there is a growing need for governments to keep malicious UAV communications under legitimate surveillance. This paper first investigates a new surveillance paradigm for monitoring suspicious UAV communications via jamming suspicious UAVs. Due to the power consumption limitation, the choice of eavesdropping and jamming will reflect the performance of the UAVs communication. Therefore, the paper analyses the UAV’s eavesdropping and jamming models in different cases, and then proposes the model to optimize the data package in the constraints of lower power consumption, which can be solved by the proposed selection policy. The simulation results validate our proposed selection policy in terms of power consumption and eavesdropped packets. In different fading models, power consumption increases with time, regardless of distances, and our proposed policy performs better in Weibull fading channels in terms of eavesdropped packets.

A Comprehensive Review of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Attacks and Neutralization Techniques

“…Hence, depending upon these situation, different RF jamming techniques will be more efficient for effectively introducing interference at the RF re- ceiver. The different types of RF jamming techniques available in literature [109] , [110] , [111] are discussed in this section . In addition to these, GNSS jamming has been discussed as a subsection due to its relevance to the subject (although it is not a different type of jamming and a specific case of the preceding types).…”

“…They investigated how to achieve the dubious flight information UAVs. As [21], they have also introduced a friendly jammer who can jam the dubious receiver to reduce the suspicious UAV data rate. Eventually, they proposed a model that can maximize eavesdropping success.…”

“…Eventually, they proposed a model that can maximize eavesdropping success. However, none of [21]- [22] can address an environment where UAV works as a relay and eavesdropping on the ground adversaries. In this paper, we address the limitation mentioned above.…”
