Abstract
This paper proposes a Generative AI-based Digital Twin (GDT) platform for automated network feature performance evaluation, designed for Beyond 5G (B5G) networks. The platform addresses the inefficiencies of manual evaluation by utilizing a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) to simulate network performance based on historical data and new AI/ML features. The Network GDT integrates a novel Digital Twin Augmenting Condition (DTAC) framework, allowing for real-time simulation and performance evaluation of network features. This system significantly reduces the time and cost associated with manual evaluations, improves decision-making, and optimizes Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The cGAN-based model dynamically generates synthetic data, enabling comprehensive performance insights and proactive AI solution testing under various network scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate high prediction accuracy for congestion use case, validating the robustness of the proposed system. The platform's dual-phase strategy ensures that AI-based solutions are rigorously tested in simulated environments before deployment in real networks, minimizing risks and enhancing stability. This approach provides a scalable and efficient solution for future B5G networks, paving the way for more reliable and optimized wireless communication systems.
