Almost 81% of jamming attacks are initiated at the MAC layer due to the nature of wireless networks that lead to this project. Main objectives of this paper are to configure jamming attack at MAC layer in WLAN and to evaluate the performance of WLAN by using three types of metrices which is Bit Error Rate (BER), Throughput and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).
