On the Performance of Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Anti-Jamming Method Confronting Intelligent Jammer

Abstract

With the development of access technologies and artificial intelligence, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm is proposed into channel accessing and anti-jamming. Assuming the jamming modes are sweeping, comb, dynamic and statistic, the DRL-based method through training can almost perfectly avoid jamming signal and communicate successfully. Instead, in this paper, from the perspective of jammers, we investigate the performance of a DRL-based anti-jamming method. First of all, we design an intelligent jamming method based on reinforcement learning to combat the DRL-based user. Then, we theoretically analyze the condition when the DRL-based anti-jamming algorithm cannot converge, and provide the proof. Finally, in order to investigate the performance of DRL-based method, various scenarios where users with different communicating modes combat jammers with different jamming modes are compared. As the simulation results show, the theoretical analysis is verified, and the proposed RL-based jamming can effectively restrict the performance of DRL-based anti-jamming method.
