Using Standard Deviation in Signal Strength Detection to Determine Jamming in Wireless Networks

ABSTRACT Aswireless networks become more common ,in both government and industry settings, jamming becomes a major issue. This paper provides a mathematical approach and equations for analysis of signal strength jamming detection, over the more commonly used packet-loss jamming detection. The approach offered alleviates issues with battery life by cutting the overhead cost of sending and receivingmultiple packets before the network can determine that it is being jammed.
