COMPANY LOGO Introduction  When jamming occurs, the traffic going through that jamming area is disrupted.  The network either switches to different channels other than those of the jammers, and/or its traffic needs to be rerouted around the jamming area.  This paper investigates the jamming defense strategies via the joint design of traffic rerouting, channel re-assignment, and scheduling in a multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh network /06/08

COMPANY LOGO Introduction  First formulate the optimal network restoration problem as linear programming problem, which gives an upper bound on the achievable network throughput.  Consider two strategies, namely global restoration and local restoration.  Based on the LP solutions, providing a greedy scheduling algorithm using dynamic channel assignment, which schedules both the network traffic and the jamming traffic /06/08
