Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for estimating a path of an aerial vehicle engaged in attacking network devices in a wireless communication network. A distance function corresponding to the aerial vehicle and a boundary node is determined based on an initial coordinate location of the aerial vehicle and an initial coordinate location of the boundary node. A function of jamming power received at the boundary node from the aerial vehicle is determined based at least on the first distance function and a transmission power of the boundary node. The function of jamming power represents a power associated with a jamming signal received from the aerial vehicle at the boundary node. A trajectory of the aerial vehicle at a plurality of time periods is estimated by the boundary node with an extended Kalman filter. The extended Kalman filter is determined based on the function of jamming power.
