Localization of a Power-Modulated Jammer

Jamming is a malicious radio activity that represents a dreadful threat when employed in critical scenarios. Several techniques have been proposed to detect, locate, and mitigate jamming. Similarly, counter-counter-jamming techniques have been devised. This paper belongs to the latter thread. In particular, we propose a new jammer model: a power-modulated jammer that defies standard localization techniques. We provide several contributions: we first define a new mathematical model for the power-modulated jammer and then propose a throughout analysis of the localization error associated with the proposed power-modulated jammer, and we compare it with a standard power-constant jammer. Our results show that a power-modulated jammer can make the localization process completely ineffective—even under conservative assumptions of the shadowing process associated with the radio channel. Indeed, we prove that a constant-power jammer can be localized with high precision, even when coupled with a strong shadowing effect (σ ≈ 6 dBm). On the contrary, our power-modulated jammer, even in the presence of a very weak shadowing effect (σ < 2 dBm), presents a much wider localization error with respect to the constant-power jammer. In addition to being interesting on its own, we believe that our contribution also paves the way for further research in this area.

Symplectic diffeomorphisms with limit shadowing

Let [Formula: see text] be a symplectic diffeomorphism on a closed [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]-dimensional Riemannian manifold [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that [Formula: see text] is Anosov if any of the following statements holds: [Formula: see text] belongs to the [Formula: see text]-interior of the set of symplectic diffeomorphisms satisfying the limit shadowing property or [Formula: see text] belongs to the [Formula: see text]-interior of the set of symplectic diffeomorphisms satisfying the limit weak shadowing property or [Formula: see text] belongs to the [Formula: see text]-interior of the set of symplectic diffeomorphisms satisfying the s-limit shadowing property.
