数字孪生技术正推动下一代网络向新能力演进,使运营商能全面理解网络状态,高效分析无线数据,并通过友好沉浸式界面创新应用。网络数字孪生(NDTs)可精准刻画网络基础设施的运行过程与属性,实现基于实时分析的预测性管理。然而,构建精确的NDTs面临多重挑战:异源数据融合困难、物理网络属性映射复杂,以及对下游任务的可扩展性不足。不同于以往从零构建的方法,本文在统一孪生转换(UTT)框架下,探索了NDTs内部及跨实体间的操作,揭示了一种高效转移、合并与拆分数字孪生的新计算范式,以生成面向任务的孪生体。通过联合多模态与分布式映射机制,该框架优化资源利用,降低构建成本,同时保障孪生模型一致性。对分布式映射问题进行理论分析,建立了多模态门控聚合过程的收敛边界。在真实世界孪生辅助应用(如轨迹重建、人员定位、感官数据生成)上的评估表明,该方法在任务开发中具备可行性与有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The integration of digital twinning technologies is driving next-generation networks toward new capabilities, allowing operators to thoroughly understand network conditions, efficiently analyze valuable radio data, and innovate applications through user-friendly, immersive interfaces. Building on this foundation, network digital twins (NDTs) accurately depict the operational processes and attributes of network infrastructures, facilitating predictive management through real-time analysis and measurement. However, constructing precise NDTs poses challenges, such as integrating diverse data sources, mapping necessary attributes from physical networks, and maintaining scalability for various downstream tasks. Unlike previous works that focused on the creation and mapping of NDTs from scratch, we explore intra- and inter-operations among NDTs within a Unified Twin Transformation (UTT) framework, which uncovers a new computing paradigm for efficient transfer, merging, and splitting of NDTs to create task-oriented twins. By leveraging joint multi-modal and distributed mapping mechanisms, UTT optimizes resource utilization and reduces the cost of creating NDTs, while ensuring twin model consistency. A theoretical analysis of the distributed mapping problem is conducted to establish convergence bounds for this multi-modal gated aggregation process. Evaluations on real-world twin-assisted applications, such as trajectory reconstruction, human localization, and sensory data generation, demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of interoperability among NDTs for corresponding task development.
