Survey on Survival Approaches in Wireless Network Against Jamming Attack

Wireless networks are more depicted to intentional or unintentional threats than their wired based equivalent networks. Major reason being the wireless medium which can be listened and interfered by non-participants, in an on-going valid communication. In the absence of a collision detection mechanism and relying mainly on cooperation of each other for packet routing, the standard defined for wireless network is unable to identify any malicious activity, by default. Among attacks the ones which create isolation of the nodes on the network are considered more severe.
