Optimizing Testing and Assurance with a 5G Network Digital Twin

Specific real-world conditions such as the composition and volume of user traffic, cybersecurity threats, and widely varying radio environments can significantly impact 5G infrastructure performance. Recreating these conditions in the lab can prove challenging but is essential for ensuring new releases perform as expected when launched. Commercial service providers (CSPs) require testing environments that continuously validate and optimize how increasingly complex 5G network elements should behave and perform.

A 5G network digital twin can streamline and enhance testing and assurance with emulation that’s capable of running myriad test possibilities quickly and cost-effectively. Satellites and devices, radio frequency channels, network access, and backhaul, cloud, core, and IP networks are modeled as a functional network replica that accurately mimics the live network. With 5G network digital twins, CSPs can automate product and service development, monitoring, and testing to facilitate live network readiness.

5G Network Test Acceleration Solution

CSPs require testing environments that enable rapid and continuous prototyping, testing, assurance, and optimization of increasingly complex 5G applications and services. The Keysight 5G network test acceleration solution uses a digital twin to support multiple emulation processes, traffic models, and signal generation functions. The solution can run tests on any challenge for any network function, such as disaggregated Open RAN functionality. It also mitigates private and sliced network challenges such as 5G New Radio complexity and provides ongoing security posture assessments across the network.
