NeTS: SMALL: Reliable and Efficient Communication Support for Highly Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

本项目旨在为高度移动的自组网提供可靠、高效的通信支持。这种类型的网络很多时候是使命或安全关键的，需要可靠的通信。对于ad hoc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并且不可能属于同一组织。在两个节点之间预先共享任何信息可能是不可行的。该项目通过建立一个支持通信层来解决高度移动的ad hoc网络中的一些攻击，包括通信干扰和窃听。更准确地说，本项目的主要研究是设计新颖的方案，通过灵活地改变通信信道来抵御干扰攻击，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安全的基础设施。 该项目采用理论分析和真实的实验来验证解决方案。

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.
