Abstract

This paper presents a study of the impact of different types of waveform jamming schemes against remote detonation communication devices based on Long term evolution (LTE) technology. Two main categories of waveform jamming signals (single-carrier and multi-carriers) were used. Also, two jamming scenarios against LTE-based remote detonation devices (jamming the whole LTE frame and jamming the LTE synchronization channel) were investigated. The key point of evaluating the effectiveness of the presented waveform jamming signals is by measuring their ability to successfully cut off the connection between the transmitter and the LTE-based remote detonation device. This is achieved by verifying that the remote detonation device is unable to successfully receive the transmitted information (Deny of Service (DOS) mode). To this end, emulations of these scenarios are held using two Keysight software-defined radio software programs (SystemVue 2015 and VSA 89600). Finally, a real practical experiment of the impact of different waveform jamming schemes against LTE-based remote detonation devices is emulated to present the optimal waveform jamming scheme against these types of devices.
