“…Future RAN aims to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds, making it possible to create a digital counterpart of anything in the actual world [98]. The ability to create a trustworthy, efficient, and effective digital duplicate of any physical object will open up hitherto inconceivable avenues of exploration, such as (i) more effective use of resources has a positive effect on the long-term viability of agriculture; (ii) to facilitate a fully smart city by developing 4D spatio-temporal interactive maps; and (iii) tracking the operations at every corner of a smart factory at once by constructing a digital map of the space.…”

“…The development of a digital twin (DT) may fundamentally benefit from data about events occurring in the real world at a certain time and place. 6G-connected tags may be affixed to real-world items to generate a digital duplicate, with the added benefit of gathering sensory data that can be paired with time instances to show exactly when the data was gathered [98]. There are, however, difficulties in correctly localising these devices, particularly when they are installed in GPS-denied locations.…”

<p>When fully implemented, sixth generation (6G) wireless systems will constitute intelligent wireless networks that enable not only ubiquitous communication but also high-accuracy localization services. They will be the driving force behind this transformation by introducing a new set of characteristics and service capabilities in which location will coexist with communication while sharing available resources. To that purpose, this survey investigates the envisioned applications and use cases of localization in future 6G wireless systems, while analyzing the impact of the major technology enablers. Afterwards, system models for millimeter wave, terahertz and visible light positioning that take into account both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS channels are presented, while localization key performance indicators are revisited alongside mathematical definitions.

Furthermore, the localization problem is formulated, the wireless system design is considered and the optimization of both is investigated. Finally, insights that arise from the presented analysis are summarized and used to highlight the most important future directions for localization in 6G wireless systems.</p>

Empowering 6G Communication Systems With Digital Twin Technology: A Comprehensive Survey

The global roll-out phase of the fifth-generation of mobile communication systems is currently underway. The industry and academia have already begun research on potential sixth-generation (6G) communication systems. The 6G communication system is anticipated to provide network connectivity for an extensive range of use cases in a variety of emerging vertical industries. Consequently, a new set of challenging requirements and more stringent key performance indicators have to be considered, a novel architecture has to be designed, and unique enabling technologies shall be developed in order to fulfill the technical, regulatory, and business demands of the communication service customers. These requirements place enormous pressure on the players in the telecommunications industry, including network operators, service providers, hardware suppliers, standards development organizations (SDOs), and regulatory authorities aimed at developing, standardizing, and regulating an energy-efficient, cost-effective, performing, and sustainable 6G communication ecosystem. One area of focus for 6G communication systems is the digital twin (DT) technology, which is a well-defined set of tools designed to create virtual representations of physical objects that serve as their digital counterparts. This article explores the applicability of the DT technology in the context of 6G communication systems by viewing it as a promising tool to make research, development, operation, and optimization of the next-generation communication systems highly efficient. The major contribution of this article is fivefold. Firstly, we provide critical analysis of the state-of-the-art literature in the field of DT technology in order to capture its essence in several application areas since its inception. Secondly, we conduct a comprehensive survey of the research concerning the deployment of DT technology in 6G communication systems. Thirdly, we discuss potential use cases and key areas of applications (along with detailed examples) of 6G communication systems that can benefit from DT technology. Fourthly, we present an overview of the activities of several SDOs that are active in the field of DT technology. Finally, we identify several open research challenges and future directions that need to be addressed before the end-to-end deployment of DT technology in 6G communication systems.
