A Link-Quality Anomaly Detection Framework for Software-Defined Wireless Mesh Networks by Sotiris Skaperas, Lefteris Mamatas, Vassilis Tsaoussidis

“…In this paper, we propose an unsupervised machine learning (ML) online framework for link quality detection consisting of: 1) improved preprocessing clustering algorithm, based on elastic similarity measures, to efficiently characterize wireless links in terms of reliability, and 2) a novel change point (CP) detector for the real-time identification of anomalies in the quality of selected links, which minimizes the overestimation error through the incorporation of a rank-based test and a recursive max-type procedure. In this sense, considering the communication constraints of such environments, our approach minimizes the detection overhead and the inaccurate decisions caused by overestimation. …”
