Overhead-Aware Multilayer Graph Learning for Network-Managed Multi-Attack Detection in RPL-Based Low-Power IoT Networks
This paper proposes an overhead-aware multilayer graph learning framework (Attn-ML-GCN) that models RPL-based IoT networks as four-layer graphs to effectively detect multiple attack families by capturing structural and temporal attack propagation, achieving significantly higher detection accuracy than flat-feature baselines while providing interpretable insights into network overhead impacts.
