This project aims to build a reliable and efficient communication support for highly mobile ad hoc networks. This type of networks many time are mission or safety critical requiring reliable communication. For an ad hoc network, this problem is especially challenging because two communication nodes may have never encountered before and do not possibly belong to the same organization. Pre-sharing any information between two nodes may not be feasible. This project addresses a number of adversary attacks in highly mobile ad hoc networks, including communication jamming and eavesdropping, by building a supporting communication layer. More precisely, the main research in this project is to design novel schemes to defend against jamming attacks by agilely changing communication channels, and extract physical layer information to build a secure communication channel. The supporting communication layer provides a secure infrastructure for efficient communications. The project applies both theoretical analysis and real experiments to validate the solutions.

本项目旨在为高移动自组织网络建立可靠、高效的通信支持。这种类型的网络很多时候是任务或安全关键需要可靠的通信。对于自组织网络，这个问题尤其具有挑战性，因为两个通信节点可能以前从未遇到过，也不可能属于同一个组织。在两个节点之间预先共享任何信息可能是不可行的。该项目通过构建一个支持通信层，解决了高度移动自组织网络中的许多对手攻击，包括通信干扰和窃听。更准确地说，本课题的主要研究是通过灵活地改变通信信道来设计新的方案来防御干扰攻击，并提取物理层信息来构建安全的通信信道。支持通信层为高效通信提供了安全的基础设施。该项目采用理论分析和实际实验来验证解决方案。
