LTE\/LTE-A networks provide advanced data, Voice over IP (VoIP), multimedia, and location-based services to millions of subscribers around the world. Lately, it has been suggested to utilize commercially and privately-owned LTE\/LTE-A networks for mission-critical applications like public safety, smart grid and military communications. Although LTE\/LTE-A air interface provides ease of accessibility, flexibility, mobility support, low latency, high data rates, and economy of scale; it also raises serious security concerns. It is shown that the LTE air interface is vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) and loss of service attacks from power and bandwidth-limited smart jammers, without being \u201chacked\u201d by them. The interaction between the network and the smart jammer is modeled as a two-player Bayesian game with asymmetric information, with the network being the uninformed player. The proposed work addresses smart jamming problem in LTE\/LTE-A networks by using learning and policy optimization in repeated games so that autonomous policies can be constructed for the network to combat against these attacks.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Proposal Oral Exam"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2015-11-30 18:54:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:15:01","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-01-13T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-01-13T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-01-13T14:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-01-13 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-01-13 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-01-13 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"},{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
