We investigate the behavior of two users and one jammer in an AWGN channel with and without fading when they participate in a non-cooperative zero-sum game, with the channel's input/output mutual information as the objective function. We…
We study a wireless jamming problem consisting of the competition between a legitimate receiver and a jammer, as a zero-sum game where the value to maximize/minimize is the channel capacity at the receiver's side. Most of the approaches…

We consider a multi-player multi-armed bandit setting in the presence of adversaries that attempt to negatively affect the rewards received by the players in the system. The reward distributions for any given arm are heterogeneous across…
Most of the current anti-jamming algorithms for wireless communications only consider how to avoid jamming attacks, but ignore that the communication waveform or frequency action may be obtained by the jammers. Although existing…
We consider the problem of jamming attack in a multiple access channel with training-based transmission. First, we derive upper and lower bounds on the maximum achievable ergodic sum-rate which explicitly shows the impact of jamming during…
Multi-agent systems often communicate over low-power shared wireless networks in unlicensed spectrum, prone to denial-of-service attacks. We consider the following scenario: multiple pairs of agents communicating strategically over shared…

Can an intelligent jammer learn and adapt to unknown environments in an electronic warfare-type scenario? In this paper, we answer this question in the positive, by developing a cognitive jammer that adaptively and optimally disrupts the…
Conventional anti-jamming method mostly rely on frequency hopping to hide or escape from jammer. These approaches are not efficient in terms of bandwidth usage and can also result in a high probability of jamming. Different from existing…
Wireless communication systems, such as wireless sensor networks and RFIDs, are increasingly adopted to transfer potential highly sensitive information. Since the wireless medium has a sharing nature, adversaries have a chance to eavesdrop…
In this work, we address a completely novel case which is the meeting problem of mobile nodes (players) in a wireless ad hoc network. We assume that the only information players have is the received signal strength (RSS) measurements of…
In advanced jamming, the adversary intentionally concentrates the available energy budget on specific critical components (e.g., pilot symbols, acknowledgement packets, etc.) to (i) increase the jamming effectiveness, as more targets can be…
The paper introduces a class of zero-sum games between the adversary and controller as a scenario for a `denial of service' in a networked control system. The communication link is modeled as a set of transmission regimes controlled by a…
In a frequency hopping (FH) scheme users communicate simultaneously using FH sequences defined on the same set of frequency channels. An FH sequence specifies the frequency channel to be used as communication progresses. Much of the…
Intentional interference constitutes a major threat for communication networks operating over a shared medium where availability is imperative. Jamming attacks are often simple and cheap to implement. In particular, today's jammers can…
