We study jamming attacks in the physical layer of multihop cognitive radio networks (MHCRNs) where energy-constrained relays forward information from the source to the destination. Meanwhile, a jammer can transmit interfering signals on a channel such that all ongoing transmissions on this channel will be corrupted. In this paper, all jammers can attack only one of the predefined channels in each time slot. Moreover, they can randomly switch channels to start jamming another channel at the beginning of every time slot. The switching behavior is assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution. Due to limited battery capacity in the relays, energy harvesting is utilized to solve the energy-constrained problem in the cognitive radio network. Subsequently, relays are able to harvest energy from non-radio frequency (non-RF) signals such as solar, wind, or temperature. In this paper, we determine the throughput/delay ratio as a key metric to evaluate the performance in MHCRNs. Owing to the limited battery capacity in the relays and the jamming problem, the source needs to select proper relays and channels for each data transmission frame to optimize overall network performance in terms of end-to-end delay, throughput, and energy efficiency. Therefore, we provide two novel multihop allocation schemes to maximize achievable end-to-end throughput while minimizing delay in the presence of jammers. Through simulation results, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes under multiple jamming attacks in MHCRNs.
