Abstract

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.
