Abstract: A novel jammer placement algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is proposed to solve the problems of nodes’ mobility and restrictions on placement areas in ad-hoc network. There are three steps in this algorithm: network simulation, jamming simulation, and optimization. The algorithm simulates the network communication process and movement of nodes with discrete simulation method. Simple particle swarm optimization is applied to compute the exact coordinates of jammers. Experiment results show that this algorithm is good at jamming network nodes moving in different ways. The algorithm has stable performance with varying conditions such as different placement areas, jamming ranges, network density, speeds of nodes and numbers of jammers.

Key words: Ad-hoc network, jamming moving target, jammer placement, particle swarm optimization
