A hybrid DS-FH-THSS approach anti-jamming in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) technologies have been successfully applied to a great variety of outdoor scenarios but, in practical terms, little effort has been applied for indoor environments, and even less in the field of industrial applications. This paper work presents an intelligent hybrid WSN application for an indoor and industrial scenario, with the aim of improving and increasing the levels of human safety and to avoid the denial of service (DoS) attacks. Since its operates on a wireless network, an adversary can always perform a DoS attack by jamming the radio channel with a strong signal. The main contribution of our work is to use a hybrid approach that handles the problem of jamming. The proposed solution improves security by protecting against DoS and returns near-optimal solutions. The paper shows the viability of our approach in terms of performance, scalability, modularity and safety.
