Potential Counteractions to Duty Cycle-Compliant Jamming in LoRa Networks

The LoRa protocol is designed for long-range communication with minimal energy consumption, ideal for IoT deployments over large distances. LoRa networks use unlicensed bands, making them vulnerable to jamming attacks. Ensuring security is crucial, especially in Massive IoT (M-IoT) scenarios. This work discusses a selective jamming attack that degrades communication in LoRaWAN deployments and proposes a countermeasure integrating attack mitigation and intrusion detection to address the issue.
