Jamming node and mesh jamming system

Abstract

Disclosed is a jamming node (1), comprising a wireless interface (11) and a stateful control unit (12). The wireless interface (11) is configured to communicate with a number of further jamming nodes (1) within a defined maximum distance (D). The stateful control unit (12) is configured in a No Job state (S2) to retrieve a jamming job (4) from an upstream jamming node (1) of the further jamming nodes (1), the upstream jamming node (1) being in a Mesh Ready state (S4), and to proceed to a Loaded Job state (S3). The control unit (12) is configured in the Loaded Job state (S3) to proceed to either the Mesh Ready state (S4) or a Solo state (S5) in accordance with a configuration setting. The control unit (12) is configured in the Mesh Ready state (S4) to execute the jamming job (4), and to provide the jamming job (4) to a downstream jamming node (1) of the further jamming nodes (1), the downstream jamming node (1) being in a No Job state (S2). Also disclosed is a mesh jamming system (2) comprising a plurality of jamming nodes (1).
