摘要

6G网络将会带来空前的连接性能，并通过设计多种新技术融合的网络架构，满足多样化的应用场景和用户需求。然而，6G网络的普适性与灵活性，为网络的性能保障以及运营维护带来诸多挑战。利用数字孪生技术可以生成6G网络的数字孪生体，并结合人工智能以及其他数据分析技术，深入分析网络数据并预测网络未来行为，在虚拟与现实的相互配合下，保障6G网络的性能并赋能网络运维。基于此，从数字孪生技术赋能6G网络的角度入手，分析数字孪生技术与6G网络结合的需求场景、网络架构、关键技术以及机遇与挑战，探索一条6G网络与数字孪生技术相结合的发展路线。

Abstract

6G network will have the unprecedented connectivity performance and meet diverse use cases and user demands through the network architecture design that integrates multiple innovative technologies. However

the versatility and flexibility of 6G network will bring the significant challenges for the performance guarantees and the operational maintenance. By leveraging digital twin technology

the digital twin networks can be created. Combined with artificial intelligence and other data analytics techniques

the digital twin networks enable in-depth analysis of network data and prediction of future network behaviors. The performance of 6G networks is ensured and network operations and maintenance are empowered through the cooperation between virtuality and reality. Based on this

the integration of digital twin technology into 6G network was explored

analyzing demand scenarios

network architectures

key technologies

opportunities

and challenges

aiming to chart a development roadmap for digital twin technology enabled 6G network.
