Summary: | In this paper, we deal with the eavesdropping issue in Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments- (WAVE-) based vehicular networks. A proactive flexible interval intermittent jamming (FIJ) approach is proposed which predicts the time length T of the physical layer packet to be transmitted by the legitimate user and designs flexible jamming interval (JI) and jamming-free interval (JF) based on the predicted T. Our design prevents eavesdroppers from overhearing the information with low energy cost since the jamming signal is transmitted only within JI. Numerical analysis and simulation study validate the performance of our proactive FIJ, in terms of jamming energy cost and overhearing defense, by comparing with the existing intermittent jamming (IJ) and FIJ. |
