As part of my research, I found an interesting article about detecting MS signaling DOS attacks in 3G or 4G mobile networks. A new detector t examines a subset of IP packets transmitted by a mobile station (MS) to determine its infection status. Service providers can install this detector anywhere in the data path, i.e., MS, Base Station (BS), gateway, etc., to detect and quarantine infected terminals. The author proposed an algorithm that was trained using one week of IP packet traces generated by 62 different smartphones. Results indicate that this method can detect most types of signaling attacks with more than 0.9 detection probability and less than 0.1 false alarm probability.
