Application: Autonomous identification of rouge devices in a communications network (Patent ID: US20240098486A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes computer-implemented methods for autonomously identifying rogue devices in a communications network. The process involves collecting connection trace data for mobile devices, determining performance characteristics for groups of devices based on type approval codes, comparing these characteristics, and designating a type approval code as rogue if it deviates significantly from others. The system can also modify IMEI numbers, add rogue type approval codes to a blacklist, and send anomaly reports to manufacturers.
The method and system outlined in the patent aim to efficiently detect and manage rogue devices within a communications network. By analyzing connection trace data and performance characteristics based on type approval codes, the technology can automatically identify devices that deviate significantly from the norm, allowing for prompt action such as blacklisting or reporting to manufacturers. This approach enhances network security and integrity by proactively addressing potential threats posed by rogue devices.
