Jamming sensor networks: attack and defense strategies (2006, background): “Unlike frequency hopping, which is a PHY layer modulation method involving continual changing of the carrier frequency, the changing of frequencies in channel surfing is on demand and operates at the link layer.”
Observer-Based Event-Triggered Control for Networked Linear Systems Subject to Denial-of-Service Attacks (2020, background): “The former aims to alter the integrity of transmitted data [6], [7], while the latter, launched by external jammers, attempts to compromise the availability of transmitted data at their destinations [8].”
A Survey on Wireless Security: Technical Challenges, Recent Advances, and Future Trends (2015, methodology): “This would result in an excessive PER, close to one [166], which indicates that indeed, the PER may be deemed to be an effective measurement for detecting the presence of a constant jammer.”

Cyber security in the Smart Grid: Survey and challenges (2013, background): “…communication networks, because of the packet-switched network architecture for TCP/IP, the literature in general modeled the impact of DoS attacks at the packet level (e.g., packet loss [72] and the number of corrupted packets [69]) or at the network level (e.g., network throughput [73]).”

DEEJAM: Defeating Energy-Efficient Jamming in IEEE 802.15.4-based Wireless Networks (2007, background): “However, their focus is on methods for determining when jamming is occurring (as in later work [12]), rather than avoiding it altogether, and they do not address channel hopping overhead or the scanning jammer attack.”
