Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a network node (54) in a communication network (50) comprising a plurality of communication devices (51), for finding temporally connected connection patterns of the communication devices in the network. The method comprises identifying signalling between the communication devices during a predefined time duration to form a main communication graph in which the plurality of communication devices are nodes. The method also comprises partitioning the main communication graph for a time period comprised in said time duration to capture temporally connected signalling between some of the communication devices as illustrated in the main communication graph in a partitioned communication graph. The method also comprises forming at least one subgraph from the partitioned communication graph, comprising m nodes corresponding to m communication devices of said some of the communication devices. The method also comprises constructing a binary vector of the subgraph over the time period divided into a plurality of sampling periods corresponding to components in the vector such that, for each component in the vector, the component value i…
