Abstract

In Wireless 802.11 networks, Multiple-path source routing allows data source node to distribute the total traffic among the possible available paths. However, in this case jamming effects were not considered. Recent work has presented jamming mitigation scheme, anti-jamming Reinforcement System on 802.11 networks by assessing physical-layer functions such as rate adaptation and power control. Rate adaptation algorithms significantly degrade network performance. Appropriate tuning of carrier sensing threshold allows transmitter to send packets even on jam that enable receiver to capture desired signal. Efficient schedules need to be investigated for redundant transmission to perform well in presence of jammer. In this paper, the proposal in our work presents an Efficient Time and Transmission Schedule Scheme for wireless 802.11 networks in presence of jamming that guarantee low waiting time and low staleness of data. Schedules are optimal even jamming signal has energy limitations. Each packet is encoded by an errorcorrecting code (Reed-Solomon). Reed solomon code allow schedule to minimize waiting time of the clients and staleness of the received data. Jammers have restrictions on length of jamming pulses and length of intervals between subsequent jamming pulses.
