The jamming term considers both themore classical approach of interfering signals focusing on the physical level of the systems, and the cybersecurityapproach that includes the attacks generated in upper layers like Medium Access Control (MAC), producing the sameeffect on the communication channel. In order to study the accuracy of the proposed epidemic model to estimate thepropagation of jamming attacks, this paper uses the results of public simulations and experiments. It is of specialinterest the data obtained from experiments based on protocols such as Multi-Parent Hierarchical Protocol (MPH),Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), working over the IEEE 802.15.4standard. Then, using the formulation of the deterministic epidemiological model Susceptible–Infected–Recovered(SIR), together the abovementioned simulation, it has been seen that the proposed epidemic model could be used toestimate in that kind of IoT networks, the impact of the jamming attack in terms of attack severity and attackpersistence PB Elsevier YR 2019 FD 2019-10-21 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/28095 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/28095 LA eng NO López, Miguel & Peinado, A. & Ortiz, Andrés.
