Chowdhury Shahriar,Matthew J. La Pan,Marc Lichtman,T. Charles Clancy,Robert W. McGwier,Ravi Tandon,Shabnam Sodagari,Jeffrey H. Reed +7 more
TL;DR: This tutorial paper addresses the physical layer security concerns and resiliency of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications; the de facto air-interface of most modern wireless broadband standards including 3GPP Long Term Evolution and WiMAX.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Jamming attacks against OFDM timing synchronization and signal acquisition
TL;DR: Multiple attacks against the preamble synchronization stage have been developed and demonstrated to debilitate OFDM receivers, and some possible improvements to OFDM synchronization algorithms are suggested.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Phase warping and differential scrambling attacks against OFDM frequency synchronization
TL;DR: A series of attacks against the preamble synchronization stage have been developed and demonstrated to debilitate OFDM receivers and some possible improvements to OFDM synchronization algorithms are suggested.
Proceedings Article
Protecting physical layer synchronization: mitigating attacks against OFDM acquisition
TL;DR: Two improvements to OFDM timing and frequency offset estimation are outlined; sync-amble randomization and Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF) acquisition, which suggest that both of these strategies offer improvements in physical layer security to OfDM synchronization in the presence of attacking communication systems, with minimal impact on overall performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical layer orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing acquisition and timing synchronization security
TL;DR: The performance of OFDM synchronization turns out to be very poor against highly correlated jamming attacks, and a number of mitigation strategies and security improvements are discussed.
