Summary: 
When a jamming attack occurs, existing ad hoc routing protocols can experience significant throughput degradation and unnecessary control overhead due to the inclusion of unreliable links into routing paths. In this work, we identify which factors hinder establishment of reliable routing paths by the existing routing protocols in the face of jamming attacks. Our solution is Jamming-Aware Routing (JAR) based on OLSR protocol, which provides explicit route recovery procedures to counteract jamming attack. By establishing a reliable routing path, the proposed scheme achieves significant throughput gains as well as control overhead reduction.
