Summary:Jamming mitigation as a means to countermeasure jamming attacks has recently been a subject to several research. Since the battery life is indeed important in any wireless system, and as it's directly related with the transmission activity, this paper proposes a Pricing Wireless Random Channel Access (P-WRCA) mechanism and compares it with the Wireless Random Channel Access (WRCA) mechanism during Random Reactive (RR) jamming attacks. The aim is to make it difficult for a jammer to exploit the aggressive behavior of mobile users. We model, analyze the selfish behavior of mobile users in the presence of a RR jammer so as to find the trade-off between selfish behavior and jamming-resistant. The results obtained from the proposed mechanism are presented to show the network resistance to RR attacks. Finally, we believe that P-WRCA may have wider usage in wireless networking than what has been explored in this paper.
