Abstract: One example method includes using a network digital twin of a communications network to perform operations including monitoring, on an ongoing basis, a status of the communications network as the communication network changes, maintaining synchronization between the communications network and the network digital twin based on changes to the status, and the status changes are determined using information gathered during the monitoring, and using the network status to make a prediction regarding performance of the communications network.

Abstract: A system for enhancing an energy efficiency of a mobile network includes a digital twin connected to the mobile network. The digital twin is programmed to: receive, from the mobile network, real-time network traffic data and base station data of base stations operating in the mobile network; generate a first prediction of network traffic at a first time-scale based on the real-time network traffic data; generate a second prediction of network traffic at a second time-scale based on the real-time network traffic data and the base station data; and generate a first power consumption prediction for the mobile network based on the first prediction, the second prediction, and a topology of the mobile network, and the digital twin emulates at least a portion of the mobile network.
