| contents | We consider the transfer of time-sensitive information in next-generation (NextG) communication systems in the presence of a deep learning based eavesdropper capable of jamming detected transmissions, subject to an average power budget. A decoy-based anti-jamming strategy is presented to confuse a jammer, causing it to waste power when disrupting decoy messages instead of real messages. We investigate the effectiveness of the anti-jamming strategy to guarantee timeliness of NextG communications in addition to reliability objectives, analyzing the Age of Information subject to jamming and channel effects. We assess the effect of power control, which determines the success of a transmission but also affects the accuracy of the adversary's detection, making it more likely for the jammer to successfully identify and jam the communication. The results demonstrate the feasibility of mitigating eavesdropping and jamming attacks in NextG communications with information freshness objectives using a decoy to guarantee timely information transfer. |
