$ jamming
(N) An attack that attempts to interfere with the reception of
broadcast communications. (See: anti-jam, denial of service.
Compare: flooding.)
Tutorial: Jamming uses "interference" as a type of "obstruction"
intended to cause "disruption". Jamming a broadcast signal is
typically done by broadcasting a second signal that receivers
cannot separate from the first one. Jamming is mainly thought of
in the context of wireless communication, but also can be done in
some wired technologies, such as LANs that use contention
techniques to share a broadcast medium.
