TL;DR
This paper introduces a novel fully-passive jamming method using a DISCO IOS that can omnidirectionally disrupt wireless communications without power or channel knowledge, significantly impacting physical layer security.
Contribution
The paper proposes a new DISCO IOS-based fully-passive jammer capable of omnidirectional jamming without power or channel info, with theoretical analysis and verification.
Findings
The jamming impact can be increased by about 55% at 10 dBm power.
The impact does not depend on quantization or distribution for constant-amplitude IOS.
The analysis is validated through numerical simulations.
Abstract
Intelligent omni-surfaces (IOSs) with 360-degree electromagnetic radiation significantly improves the performance of wireless systems, while an adversarial IOS also poses a significant potential risk for physical layer security. In this paper, we propose a "DISCO" IOS (DIOS) based fully-passive jammer (FPJ) that can launch omnidirectional fully-passive jamming attacks. In the proposed DIOS-based FPJ, the interrelated refractive and reflective (R&R) coefficients of the adversarial IOS are randomly generated, acting like a "DISCO" that distributes wireless energy radiated by the base station. By introducing active channel aging (ACA) during channel coherence time, the DIOS-based FPJ can perform omnidirectional fully-passive jamming without neither jamming power nor channel knowledge of legitimate users (LUs). To characterize the impact of the DIOS-based PFJ, we derive the statistical…
