Network Digital Untwinning: Towards Backward Optimization of Digital Twins

- 基于地理、数据分布等连接度指标定位并移除目标孪生体
- 通过回滚检查点加噪声实现模型完整性保持,支持单/批量删除
- 适合需要合规删数或设备下线的网络管理场景
网络数字孪生(NDTs)正推动网络管理革新,提供物理网络系统的精确虚拟副本。然而其对多样敏感数据的依赖带来数据管理、合规及隐私挑战。在设备停用、网络重构或合规需求下,传统方法难以维持孪生模型完整性。为此,本文提出网络数字去孪生框架,实现对过时NDT贡献的精准移除。该框架包含两个互补机制:单请求去孪生( algO)与并行请求去孪生( algM)。 algO 基于地理邻近性、数据分布及网络属性等连接度指标,识别并移除目标NDT及其传播影响,通过最优选择的回滚检查点结合注入高斯噪声,并辅以精确重映射。 algM 将此机制扩展至多请求场景,通过聚类具有相似属性的NDT,协调执行回滚与去孪生调度。理论证明模型与从零构建的孪生不可区分,实验证明在真实流量数据上具备有效性与高效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Network digital twins (NDTs) are transforming network management by offering precise virtual replicas of physical network systems. However, their reliance on diverse and sensitive data introduces significant challenges related to data management, regulatory compliance, and user privacy. In scenarios where selective data removal is necessary, such as device deactivation, network reconfiguration, or regulatory compliance, traditional approaches often fall short of preserving the integrity of the twin model. To address this gap, we introduce a network digital untwinning framework that enables the targeted removal of deprecated NDT contributions while maintaining model integrity. Our approach comprises two complementary components: Single Request Untwinning (\algO) and Parallel Request Untwinning (\algM) mechanisms. \algO leverages connectivity metrics based on geographical proximity, data distribution, and network-level attributes to identify and remove the target NDT along with its propagating influence. This is achieved through an optimally selected rollback checkpoint augmented with injected Gaussian noise, followed by a precise remapping phase. \algM extends this mechanism to efficiently handle multiple removal requests by clustering NDTs with similar attributes and performing a coordinated rollback and untwinning schedule. We provide theoretical guarantees on model indistinguishability from scratch-built twins, and validate the framework through extensive experiments on real-world traffic data, demonstrating its effectiveness and operational efficiency.
