The synthesis of CNN, LSTM, and GRU models facilitates a dual-phase analysis–spatial
followed by temporal–each phase tackling different data aspects. CNNs are adept at ex-
tracting spatial features from input data (Figure

). They apply a series of learnable filters
to input sequences, capturing essential features such as the signature of packet headers or
the frequency of specific network events. This is particularly crucial in the context of EVCS,
where the myriad of devices and communication protocols introduce a complex and dense
feature space [
