Spatial-Domain Wireless Jamming with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

arXiv:2402.13773v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Today, we rely heavily on the constant availability of wireless communication systems. As a result, wireless jamming continues to prevail as an imminent threat: Attackers can create deliberate radio interference to overshadow desired signals, leading to denial of service. Although the broadcast nature of radio signal propagation makes such an attack possible in the first place, it likewise poses a challenge for the attacker, preventing precise targeting of single devices. In particular, the jamming signal …
