LTE/LTE-A jamming, spoofing, and sniffing: threat assessment and mitigation

Jammer-Type Estimation in LTE With a Smart Jammer Repeated Game

“…[4] - [10]) problem in LTE/LTE-A networks has been previously modeled by the authors as an infinite-horizon general-sum (non-zero-sum) repeated Bayesian game with asymmetric information (cf. [7], [9]) in which the jammer has multiple types.…”

“…[4] - [10]). It is shown in the abovereferenced articles that such a smart jammer can launch very effective denial-of-service (DOS) and loss of service attacks without even hacking the network or its components.…”

Jamming a TDD Point-to-Point Link Using Reciprocity-Based MIMO

“…On top of storing this matrix, Jeff would have to calculate the dominant eigenvector. 6 Instead, Jeff considers a "typical" received jamming sample r J [n] (cf. (5)), where n is such that Jeff can ignore any edge effects.…”

“…Today anyone with access to the Internet, a few $100 and some technical know-how can create a jammer with the ability to jam LTE systems [5], [6]. Jamming of GPS receivers [7], or jamming of private/professional mobile radio systems [8] used by first responders have been observed, and can have drastic effects.…”

“…Jamming of GPS receivers [7], or jamming of private/professional mobile radio systems [8] used by first responders have been observed, and can have drastic effects. Vulnerabilities in CDMA systems are discussed in [9], while [6], [10], [11] discuss options of jamming mitigation in OFDM systems.…”
