Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a partial band jamming avoiding method and an apparatus therefor, and more particularly to an efficient partial band jamming avoiding method and a system thereof,

The present invention relates to a jamming processing technique, and more particularly, to a method and system for implementing an effective jamming response algorithm through subchannelization in case of partial band jamming.

Jamming is an electronic jamming that is a classic electronic attack. This is done in the form of a deception that causes disturbance or false information to be rejected to use a specific frequency or radio wave by radiating radio frequency (RF) energy.

There is a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) technique in which a terminal as a negative user of a specific frequency band can jump to another channel while avoiding frequency interference such as radar, satellite, or jamming. The operation of the DFS has a disadvantage that it takes a certain time to respond to the jammer by the full DFS test period in which a new channel is searched in the event of a jamming attack, and communication is interrupted during that time.

This is because after the execution time of the full DFS test, a new channel is selected by the access point (AP) and another terminal may take additional time to recognize the new channel of the AP.

In particular, such jamming is an act of confusing or obstructing the communication system of the other party, and there are various kinds according to attack methods such as broadband jamming, partial band jamming, tone jamming, Gaussian jamming, narrow band jamming and / or attack target. In addition, a jammer with limited average power generates a jamming signal intensively in a limited partial frequency band, and a more effective method is required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an efficient partial band jam avoidance method and a system thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a conceptual diagram of a general partial band jamming model. Particularly, FIG. 1 shows a jamming model in the case where background noise and partial band jamming exist at the same time. Referring to FIG. 1, when there are five subchannels Ch1 to Ch5, when the third channel Ch3 is the currently used channel, the second channel Ch2, the fourth channel Ch4, The available channels available for receiving the jamming attack 110 are channel 1 (Ch 1) and channel 5 (Ch 5).

In this case, the power density function of the jamming signal is as follows.

2 is a diagram showing a general partial band when a partial band jamming attack occurs. Referring to FIG. 2, only the first channel (Ch1) and the fifth channel (Ch5) are usable as described above in FIG.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an increase in frequency band efficiency due to an increase in the number of jamming channels through subchannelization when a partial band jamming attack occurs according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an increase in frequency band efficiency with an increase in the number of jamming channels. 3, when the number of subchannels is 10 (Ch1 to Ch10), available usable channels that are not affected by partial band jamming are channel 1 (Ch1), channel 2 (Ch2), channel 3 It is possible to use a wider frequency band than when the number of subchannels is five for channel (Ch3), channel (Ch8), channel (Ch9) and channel (Ch10) .

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process performed by a base station (BS) to implement efficient partial band jamming avoidance through subchannelization according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, an initial operation of a base station uses all channels allocated to a base station and a mobile terminal (for example, an unmanned robot) (steps S410 and S420).

The base station transmits a beacon having information on the channel to the mobile station and operates normally to transmit and receive data (steps S430 and S440).

During this normal operation, it is confirmed whether there is a jamming attack (step S450).

If the jamming attack is detected in step S450, the subchannels for the 20 MHz channel allocated to the base station and the mobile station in the frequency band of 900 MHz to 920 MHz are formed for detection and / or avoidance of the partial jamming, (Step S460).

Through the channel search, the presence or absence of an influence on the jamming attack of each subchannel is checked to secure an available channel (step S470). In addition, after selecting a usable channel except for a subchannel receiving a jamming attack, the selected available channel information is transmitted to the mobile terminal so that normal communication is established between the base station and the mobile terminal.

A channel search is a measurement for each channel through a beacon. During this channel search, all mobile stations stop transmitting data. Also, through the beacon, the current jamming attack measures the state of the entire subchannel including the received subchannel.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process performed by a mobile station (UE) to implement efficient partial band jamming avoidance through subchannelization according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the UE receives the channel information allocated by the BS through a beacon and performs a normal operation using the allocated channel (steps S510 and S520).

During this normal operation, the mobile terminal checks whether a jamming attack has occurred (step S540).

If it is determined in step S540 that the jamming attack is not detected, it is determined whether the base station is lost (step S541).

If the base station is not lost in step S541, the process proceeds to step S530. If the base station is lost, the process proceeds to step S550. Loss of a base station (BS) refers to a state in which when a direct jamming attack is applied to a base station, the terminal can not transmit / receive information smoothly due to quality degradation such as voice and image data.

In step S540, if a jamming attack is detected as a result of the check in step S540, a subchannel is formed for detection and / or avoidance of partial jamming, and each subchannel search is performed (step S550). Channel detection and channel search are performed when jamming attack detection or communication quality degradation problem occurs.

Channel search refers to the process of selecting the best channel among all the channels in addition to the channel used when the communication quality deteriorates due to maliciousness, spontaneous generation due to jamming, or the number of users exceeding the capacity of one channel. The subchannel generation and / or jamming avoidance algorithm proposed in one embodiment of the present invention is different from the frequency hopping technique of the existing jamming avoidance method by forming a subchannel according to the partial band jamming parameter to secure the maximum available channel .

Through the channel search, the presence or absence of an influence on the jamming attack of each subchannel is checked to secure an available channel (step S470).

FIG. 6 is a system for implementing efficient partial band jamming avoidance through channelization according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the partial band jamming avoiding system includes a base station 610 and a mobile terminal 620.

The base station 610 includes a first communication unit 611 for transmitting channel information to the mobile terminal 620 and a second communication unit 610 for checking whether there is a jamming attack during normal operation according to the allocation of the channel information by the mobile terminal 620, A first jamming detection unit 612 for detecting a jamming attack by forming a plurality of subchannels in a channel according to the channel information, a channel search is performed for each of the plurality of subchannels, Selects an available channel excluding subchannels undergoing a jamming attack among the plurality of subchannels according to the measurement result, and transmits the channel information to the mobile terminal 620 through the first communication unit 611 to perform a prominent communication A first measuring unit 613, and the like.
