| Summary: | Communication abilities of a wireless network decrease significantly in the presence of a
jammer. This paper presents a reactive technique, to detect and locate the position of a jammer
using a distributed collection of wireless sensor devices. We employ the theory of autonomic
computing as a framework to design the same. Upon detection of a jammer, the
affected nodes self-configure their power consumption which stops unnecessary waste of
battery resources. The scheme then proceeds to determine the approximate location of the
jammer by analysing the location of active nodes as well as the affected nodes. This is done
by employing a circular curve fitting algorithm. Results indicate a high degree of accuracy in
localizing a jammer has been achieved. |
