Abstract

Rising network complexity in next-generation systems underscores the shortcomings of traditional optimization methods in both modeling and algorithms. This paper introduces a digital twin for mobile network (DTMN) architecture tailored for 6G networks. To overcome the limitations of traditional optimization methods, the DTMN adopts a simulation–optimization framework. The network simulation engine provides feedback that validates optimizer decisions and is used to iteratively train ML-based optimizers. In practice, we implement a prototype system that leverages data-driven technologies for modelling network elements, environments and the BSs. Built upon the deployed DTMN prototype, the ML network optimizer provides ideal network configuration solutions. Experimental results show that our DTMN delivers solutions for optimizing networks in the real world.
