Protecting multi-function wireless systems from jammers with backscatter assistance: an intelligent strategy

In this paper, we present a novel unified framework to protect multi-function wireless systems from jamming attacks. Examples of such multi-function system include joint radar and communication (JRC) systems and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems. By abstracting the...
