arXiv:2611.06225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 5G networks increasingly resemble distributed systems in their design. It then becomes crucial to move beyond traditional network-based detection methods and to explore alternative approaches. In this work, we propose a formalization of 5G network exchanges as a dynamic graph, on which we apply techniques from the field of graph-based learning to detect anomalies effectively. This representation allows for fine-grained analysis of packet-level semantic content, while simultaneously capturing sequential and topological contexts, both of which are essential for identifying sophisticated and multi-stage attacks. To assess the effectiveness of this formalism, we evaluate it with the most popular dynamic graph models, demonstrating its potential for 5G anomaly detection.
