Overview:

Battery energy is frequently the most limiting resource on mobile devices. Energy-Based Denial-of-Service (e-Dos) attacks, in which malicious attackers initiate actions that can deplete the battery of a mobile node, have recently emerged. The feasibility of such attacks has been demonstrated at various layers of the network protocol stack and attention has been drawn to them. However, little work has been done to evaluate their effectiveness at different layers of a functional wireless network protocol stack or quantify the energy drain. This paper investigates the energy profile of e-DoS packet flood attacks at the MAC, network, transport, application and physical (by moving the mobile node) layers in a real 802.11 wireless testbed.
