The RAN layer also uploads the predicted user requirements and the performance of the network slice to the SDN controller layer separately at different time slots.

The trained model can predict the user requirements in the future time slot, and updates the model in the process of continuously interacting with the wireless network environment (including the uplink and downlink rates, the successful access number of uplink and downlink connections, the congestion condition of the current wireless network link and other wireless network states), so that the performance of the model is improved. And a DRL intelligent agent (DRL model) positioned in an SDN controller layer carries out network slicing decision according to the prediction data of the user requirement provided by the RAN side, receives feedback information of the network slicing performance in each time slot and completes self optimization.
To enable intelligent and efficient management of network slices, the present disclosure proposes a digital twin-based network slice architecture in the 6G network shown in fig. 3. At the bottom layer is a User Equipment (UE) in the 6G network, and according to the vision of the 6G network to provide interconnection of everything, the UE has various access modes and personalized QoS requirements. The upper layer of the UE is an access network RAN layer, and the RAN layer and the UE layer form a real physical network. The digital twin layer (DT layer) is the mapping of the real physical network, creates the digital twin of the physical network entity and the network topology, simulates the complex environment of the physical network and dynamically updates along with the change of the physical network.

Fig. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating a network slice configuration method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 4, the network slice configuration method includes steps S410 to S460.
In step S410, the RAN layer device generates service level information according to the user level information of the user layer device in the current time slot.
In step S420, the RAN layer device predicts the service requirement information of the user in the current time slot by using the first machine learning model according to the service level information of the current time slot.
In step S430, the RAN layer device transmits service level information and service requirement information of the current time slot.
In step S440, the SDN controller determines a network slice configuration policy of the current time slot according to the service level information and the service requirement information of the current time slot from the RAN layer device, by using the second machine learning model.
In step S450, the SDN controller performs slice configuration verification on the network slice configuration policy of the current timeslot by using a digital twin based on the user layer device and the RAN layer device.
In step S460, the SDN controller sends the network slice configuration policy of the current time slot to the RAN layer device if the authentication passes.
The content of the foregoing network slice configuration system can be referred to in the related embodiments of each step in the network slice configuration method, and details are not described here.
Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a network slice configuration method according to further embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 5, the network slice configuration method includes steps S501 to S514.
In step S501, an access point device (AP) in the RAN layer collects and transmits random information of a User level from a UE (User Equipment) in the User layer to the RAN layer device. For example, the user-level random information includes, but is not limited to, the end user's service demand pattern, mobility pattern, location information, and random channel conditions.
In step S502, an intelligent algorithm (i.e., a machine learning model) deployed on the RAN side converts the user level information into required service level information. For example, by analyzing the service requirement pattern of the user, the requirement of the user on the delay, the bandwidth and the service content information can be obtained. By analyzing the movement pattern, the movement rule of the user can be obtained, and the subsequent prediction of the movement of the user is facilitated. The signal-to-noise ratio of the current channel can be obtained through the random channel condition, the switching of the user access channel is conveniently realized by combining the moving rule of the user, and the service quality of the user is ensured. By processing the user location information, user density information can be obtained. After data of the service level information is abstracted, fused and analyzed, the service requirement of the user is predicted by using an intelligent algorithm.
In step S503, the DT layer initializes a digital twin that generates a physical network composed of a user layer and a RAN layer.
In step S504, the RAN layer transmits the processed service level information including the prediction of the user service demand to the SDN controller.
In step S505, the SDN controller runs a decision algorithm based on the DRL model according to the predicted service demand to make an optimal decision for the network slice according to the collected service level information (including the predicted user service demand information).
In step S506, the SDN controller decides to issue to the DT layer for pre-verification.
In step S507, a planning decision determined by a DRL agent in the SDN controller is performed in the DT for pre-verification, so as to avoid a hazard caused by poor AI model effect but direct deployment into the network.
In some embodiments, for cases where AI models are poorly interpretable and training effects are unknown, network slicing decisions are run in the DT prior to deployment into the real network. If the gain of the strategy on the network slice performance exceeds a certain threshold value, the strategy is issued to the RAN side, and if the strategy cannot generate gain or bring adverse effect on the network slice performance, the strategy is not issued.
In step S508, the validated planning decision is sent back to all Access Points (APs) in the RAN layer.
In step S509, the Access Point (AP) in the RAN layer performs the received planning decision. E.g., reserving network resources or allocating bandwidth for the respective slice.
In step S510, the users in service report their real-time information to the DT layer. For example, the real-time information includes channel conditions and corresponding service relationships between users and Access Points (APs), and the like.
In step S511, the DT layer is updated according to the real-time information in the wireless network environment.
In step S512, the RAN side evaluates and detects the performance of the network slice by measuring feedback information of the user for all slice decisions in the last time slot. For example, the feedback information includes a satisfaction rate.
In step S513, an Access Point (AP) in the RAN layer sends the slice capability to the SDN controller.
In step S514, the SDN controller makes a network slice planning decision for the next time slot and adjusts a planning strategy according to the feedback information.
The method provides an intelligent endogenous 6G wireless network architecture, aiming at the conditions that the interpretability of an AI model is poor and the training effect is unknown, the efficient management of a digital twin layer enabled network slice is introduced, the key step of pre-verification is added in the full life cycle management of the network slice, and the harm caused by poor effect of the AI model but direct deployment of the AI model into the network is avoided.
The disclosure also provides a detailed flow of slice information exchange in a digital twin architecture oriented to network slices in a 6G network. An intelligent algorithm is introduced at the RAN side and the SDN controller side, network slices are intelligently managed, and slice management is assisted in a dynamic mode through interaction with a physical network.
