Susceptibility of IEEE 802.11p V2X communication to jamming attacks

Vehicular communications offer a means of improving or optimizing transport networks. They can be used to share real-time information on the state of the road network, to better manage traffic in the event of an accident or incident, to make it easier for emergency services to intervene. However, as with all communication networks, the security of exchanges must be guaranteed. In particular, vehicular exchanges can be subject to various types of attacks such as man in the middle, black hole or jamming. This paper presents an evaluation of the vulnerability of the IEEE 802.11p, ITS-G5 physical layer, to jamming attacks, using a dedicated test bench that emulates such communication. The research focuses on understanding how such attacks affect communication by observing high layer of communication indicator.
