Enabling 6G Campus Networks Intelligent Control with Digital Twin: A case study

Campus networks are expected to include various new features compared to 4G and 5G networks, such as the exploitation of THz frequency bands and real-time network optimization. Furthermore, to enable future-proof network control, the Digital Twin Network (DTN) reference architecture can be exploited to create an autonomic network system that provides intent-based interfaces and offers a complete adaptive network control tailored for campus network applications. This paper discusses such architecture and presents a case study focused on a THz system that can adapt its coding and modulation parameters in response to channel degradation due to environmental changes. Finally, simulation results evince the advantages of the proposed architecture.
