On Strategic Jamming In Distributed Detection Networks

In this paper, the optimal jamming strategy by an adversary in distributed detection networks is investigated. By utilizing the game-theoretical framework to characterize the interaction between the fusion center (FC) and the jammer as a repeated game, we examine how the behavior of the FC changes with jammer's strategy. Based on simulation results, we find that the `Evenly distributed' strategy is not always optimal for the jammer. Instead, under certain conditions, the `Betting on one channel' jamming strategy is the best strategy for the jammer.
