Jamming Detection in Cell-Free MIMO with Dynamic Graphs
This addresses jamming attacks in wireless networks, which is a critical threat, but the approach appears incremental as it applies existing graph-based deep learning techniques to a specific domain.
The paper tackles jamming detection in cell-free massive MIMO systems by proposing a framework that uses dynamic graphs and GCN-Transformers to model network evolution and identify anomalies, achieving promising accuracy and F1 scores in simulated scenarios.
Jamming attacks pose a critical threat to wireless networks, particularly in cell-free massive MIMO systems, where distributed access points and user equipment (UE) create complex, time-varying topologies. This paper proposes a novel jamming detection framework leveraging dynamic graphs and graph convolutional neural networks (GCN) to address this challenge. By modeling the network as a dynamic graph, we capture evolving communication links and detect jamming attacks as anomalies in the graph evolution. A GCN-Transformer-based model, trained with supervised learning, learns graph embeddings to identify malicious interference. Performance evaluation in simulated scenarios with moving UEs, varying jamming conditions and channel fadings, demonstrates the method's effectiveness, which is assessed through accuracy and F1 score metrics, achieving promising results for effective jamming detection.
