In the beyond 5G and 6G networks, the number of connected devices and their types of services will greatly increase including not only user devices such as smartphones but also the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, the existing common control for all devices cannot fulfill the network requirements of each device; however, it is not feasible to control networks per device in terms of computational complexity. We introduce device types as groups of devices with similar traffic characteristics to control network per device type for efficient network control. We present a method to classify device types based on periodicity analysis of only encrypted traffic behavior. In real networks, feature engineering, such as manual feature selection and parameter optimization depending on input traffic, is not feasible because operators must treat a large amoount of traffic. This paper proposes a graph-based traffic classification method that trains only two-dimensional features: packet inter-arrival times and packet sizes. The proposed method extracts the typical length of the traffic, which is different depending on the input traffic, using periodicity analysis. The traffic for the extracted length is converted into graphs whose two adjacent nodes have an edge, which is defined as textit{linear graphs} in this paper. The inter-arrival times and the packet sizes are represented as node features and edge weights, respectively.
The evaluation results show that the proposed method maintains 95-99% accuracy even trained with two-dimensional features, which is less than the numbers of features used in the existing methods, for two open datasets. Therefore, the proposed method is expected to reduce the feature engineering while maintaining the accuracy. |
