Scalable Context-Aware Graph Attention for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Large-Scale Mobile Networks

Mobile network operators must monitor thousands of heterogeneous network elements across the radio access network and the packet core, each exposing high-dimensional KPI time series. The scale and cost of incident labelling make supervised approaches impractical, motivating unsupervised anomaly detection robust to context shifts and nonstationarity. We propose \textbf{C-MTAD-GAT} (\emph{Context-aware Multivariate Time-series Anomaly Detection with Graph Attention}), an anomaly detection framework designed to operate as a single shared model across large populations of network elements. The model combines temporal and feature-wise graph attention with lightweight static and dynamic context conditioning and a dual-head decoder for reconstruction and multi-step forecasting. It produces per-element, per-feature anomaly scores, converted to alerts via fully unsupervised thresholds calibrated from validation residuals. On the TELCO dataset released with DC-VAE \cite{garcia2023onemodel}, C-MTAD-GAT improves event-level affiliation and pointwise F1 while generating fewer alarms than prior graph-attention and VAE-based baselines. We then apply the same system to nation-scale radio access and evolved packet core control-plane counter data from a mobile network operator, where it is deployed. Operator feedback indicates the alerts are actionable and support daily monitoring, showing scalability across domains without relying on labelled incidents.
