Convert Harm Into Benefit: A Coordination-Learning Based Dynamic Spectrum Anti-Jamming Approach

This paper mainly investigates the multi-user anti-jamming spectrum access problem. Using the idea of “converting harm into benefit,” the malicious jamming signals projected by the enemy are utilized by the users as the coordination signals to guide spectrum coordination. An “internal coordination-external confrontation” multi-user anti-jamming access game model is constructed, and the existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) as well as correlated equilibrium (CE) is demonstrated. A coordination-learning based anti-jamming spectrum access algorithm (CLASA) is designed to achieve the CE of the game. Simulation results show the convergence, and effectiveness of the proposed CLASA algorithm, and indicate that our approach can help users confront the malicious jammer, and coordinate internal spectrum access simultaneously without information exchange. Last but not least, the fairness of the proposed approach under different jamming attack patterns is analyzed, which illustrates that this approach provides fair anti-jamming spectrum access opportunities under complicated jamming pattern.
