}This paper introduces the concept of antifragile communications, which we define as the capability for a communications system to improve in performance due to a system stressor or harsh condition. [] Key Method Through a novel strategy, we exploit the communications jammer, providing an increase in communications capability such as bits per second. We show that an antifragile gain is possible under a wide variety of reactive jamming scenarios and provide guidelines for realizing these gains by creating an…
