A Robust Solution for Jammer Localization and Avoidance in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

The phrase vehicular ad hoc networks(VANET) refers to vehicle nodes that provide various services such as accident avoidance, traffic management. In vehicles, it is essential to send/receive messages without any interruptions. The innovative developments in vehicles have converted traditional vehicles into intelligent devices that provide convenience and safety. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) hold great promise for enhancing road safety and traffic management by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure. This project presents an innovative approach to address the problem of jamming attacks in VANETs through efficient localization and avoidance. The system continuously monitors the wireless communication environment within the VANET. Our method leverages the inherent mobility of vehicles in VANETs to dynamically detect and localize jamming sources. Once a jamming source is localized, our system implements intelligent avoidance strategies. It dynamically reroutes affected vehicles around the jammed area by utilizing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications.
