Graph-Spectral Fusion of Wavelet Packets and Higher-Order Statistics for Anomaly Detection in Industrial IoT Networks
Abstract
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks demand reliable anomaly detection under harsh wireless conditions, yet most detectors fail on four fronts: hostile fading, stealthy non-Gaussian faults, discarded spatial structure, or constrained edge hardware. We propose Graph WPT+HOS, a classical label-free detector that fuses three complementary views: the Graph Fourier Transform (GFT) for spatial inconsistency, the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) for transient time-frequency localization, and Higher-Order Statistics (HOS) for non-Gaussian shape. The fused features are scored by a Mahalanobis distance with Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage and converted to alarms by a one-sided CUSUM. The pipeline is asymptotically optimal at the decision stage, requires no labeled anomalies, and runs on ARM-class edge hardware without GPU acceleration. Across six baselines and four domain-shift regimes under Rayleigh fading, Graph WPT+HOS attains the highest ROC-AUC and PR-AUC and reduces CUSUM detection latency.
