By utilizing digital twin technology to construct a virtual simulation environment highly consistent with the actual satellite-ground collaborative network, the operating status of the satellite network can be monitored and simulated in real time, and intelligent resource allocation decisions can be made. This improves the digitalization and intelligence level of the satellite network, and enhances the simulation accuracy, real-time performance, and resource utilization efficiency of the network. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of satellite communication technology, satellite-ground collaborative edge networks have gradually become an important means of achieving global communication coverage and efficient data transmission. Satellite-ground collaborative networks utilize the coordinated work of satellites and ground equipment to provide extensive network coverage and flexible data processing capabilities. However, traditional network simulation techniques mainly rely on static models and offline calculations, making it difficult to reflect the dynamic changes and complex behaviors of the network in real time. This method cannot fully capture the complex dynamic characteristics of the network in different time and spatial dimensions, leading to significant deviations between simulation results and actual network conditions. Furthermore, traditional simulation techniques also have significant shortcomings in optimization decision-making, lacking the ability to process and respond to real-time data, and are unable to effectively cope with complex and ever-changing network environments and resource management needs, resulting in low network resource utilization efficiency.

[0003] To address the challenges of 5G networks, digital twin networks, which integrate with technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), have emerged.

These applications significantly improve operational efficiency and resource utilization in various fields. Therefore, introducing digital twin technology into satellite networks can dynamically simulate changes in satellite network nodes and links, complex spatiotemporal behaviors, and different types of services, thereby enabling full lifecycle management of satellite networks, optimizing satellite network configuration, improving the digitalization and intelligence level of satellites, and solving the challenges of remote health monitoring, condition assessment, and maintenance.

[0012] Figure 3 Digital Twin Network Functional Layered Architecture

[0013] Figure 4 Resource optimization strategies based on digital twin technology

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the digital twin architecture of the space-ground collaborative edge network includes physical space and digital space.

[0015] The physical space of the satellite-ground collaborative edge network digital twin architecture mainly comprises a terminal layer and an edge layer. The terminal layer consists of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), which collect task data, such as images and videos. Based on their association with satellites, UAVs transmit task data and their own digital twin data (such as computing resources, task data volume, number of channels, and transmission power) to associated satellites via sliced ​​satellite-ground links. The edge layer consists of satellites that provide edge computing services. For model training tasks, satellites need to complete two key tasks: edge computing and twin data synchronization. On one hand, the satellite processes the uploaded task data to complete the initial training of the local model. On the other hand, as a blockchain node, the satellite needs to propagate model parameters and perform cross-validation of blocks during the consensus process to complete the aggregation of the global model. This process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. On the other hand, the satellite also transmits its own and UAVs' twin data to the gateway station to assist in the subsequent construction of digital twin models and resource allocation decisions, ensuring efficient use of resources and successful mission completion.

[0016] In the digital space of the space-ground collaborative edge network digital twin architecture, it is divided into three layers: from bottom to top, the digital twin data layer, the digital twin model layer, and the digital twin decision layer. The functional layered architecture of the digital twin network is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0017] 1. Digital Twin Data Layer

[0018] The digital twin data layer receives real-time twin data from UAVs and satellites at the gateway station, including their operational status, resource status, and correlation status, and stores and manages this data. By acquiring data in physical space in real time, the digital twin data layer provides accurate foundational data for subsequent model and decision-making layers. The functions of the digital twin data layer can be divided into four aspects:

[0019] (1) Data Acquisition

[0020] Data acquisition completes the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process for network data, as well as cleaning and processing. First, key operational data from UAVs and satellites is extracted in real-time from the gateway station, including CPU utilization, communication link status, mission data volume, bandwidth utilization, transmission power, and the correlation status of UAVs and satellites, ensuring synchronization between physical equipment and the digital space. Second, data of different formats is standardized and converted before being loaded into a distributed storage system to ensure data consistency and compatibility. Finally, to guarantee data quality, the acquisition process includes data cleaning and processing to remove noise and outliers and fill in missing data, ensuring accuracy and completeness. The processing also involves format conversion and compression for easier subsequent storage and analysis.

[0021] (2) Data storage

[0022] The digital twin data layer employs multiple storage technologies to handle large-scale and diverse network data. For structured data (such as device status information), relational databases are used for storage; while for unstructured data (such as images and videos), a distributed file system is used. Simultaneously, to improve storage efficiency, the digital twin system categorizes data into "cold data" and "hot data." Hot data is stored in high-performance storage media to support real-time access, while cold data is stored in high-capacity, low-cost storage devices to conserve storage resources. This distributed storage architecture supports highly scalable storage for massive amounts of data, ensuring that the digital twin system maintains efficient storage capabilities even under a large influx of device data.

[0023] (3) Data services

[0024] In terms of data services, the digital twin data layer provides efficient data retrieval and processing capabilities for the model and decision-making layers. Through an optimized indexing mechanism, it offers rapid query and retrieval services for massive amounts of data, supporting fast multi-dimensional data access. Simultaneously, transaction management and locking mechanisms ensure data consistency and integrity are maintained even when multiple data service requests access concurrently. Furthermore, the data layer provides batch data processing capabilities and a unified interface, enabling different system modules to easily access data and perform operations such as task scheduling and resource optimization.

[0025] (4) Data Management

[0026] The digital twin data layer provides comprehensive data management capabilities, including data asset management, security management, quality management, and metadata management. Data asset management categorizes, labels, and archives collected data to ensure its traceability and manageability. Security management prevents data leakage and unauthorized access through encryption technologies and access controls, ensuring data security, especially when transmitting sensitive data. Quality management utilizes automated tools to check the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of data, and repairs or issues warnings for defective data. Simultaneously, metadata management generates detailed metadata for each data entry to support categorization, management, and rapid retrieval, improving data usability and management efficiency.

[0027] 2. Digital Twin Model Layer

[0028] The digital twin model layer constructs digital twin models of UAVs and satellites using twin data provided by the data layer. The UAV twin model includes operational status information such as flight altitude and position, resource status information such as computing and communication resources, and associated status information with the satellite. The satellite twin model includes operational status information such as orbit type and orbit parameters, resource status information such as computing, communication, and power resources, and twin model information of its associated UAVs. This status information collectively constitutes the digital twin model, providing data support for upper-level decision-making. The digital twin model layer primarily functions in three aspects:

[0029] (1) Model synchronization and real-time update

[0030] The core function of the digital twin model layer is to model the real-time status of UAVs and satellites and continuously update it through feedback from the digital twin data layer. The digital twin models of UAVs and satellites need to automatically adjust and update status parameters based on changes in actual physical space data to ensure that the model always remains synchronized with the actual situation of the physical equipment.

[0031] (2) Model Analysis and Optimization

[0032] To improve the accuracy and reliability of digital twin models, the virtual environment is validated and optimized. By comparing the digital twin model parameters with actual network operation data, deviations and deficiencies in the model are identified. Iterative optimization methods are then used to adjust model parameters and optimization algorithms, improving simulation accuracy and reliability and ensuring that the virtual simulation environment can reflect the dynamic changes and complex behaviors of the physical network in real time. Furthermore, with the dynamic changes in the physical network environment and the continuous input of new data, the digital twin model needs to be updated and maintained regularly to adapt to changes in the network environment and data updates, maintaining consistency between the simulation environment and the actual network.

[0033] (3) Model visualization

[0034] Network topology visualization: Using graphical visualization tools such as Graphviz or Gephi, an interactive network status display interface is generated to show the topology and node status of the satellite network. This interface intuitively presents the connections and communication links between satellites, UAVs, and gateway stations, displaying the real-time location, status, and performance metrics of each node. Users can view the operational status, signal strength, link quality, network resource utilization, and current task load of each node through the graphical interface, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the overall network status and the operational status of specific nodes.

[0035] Real-time performance metric visualization: Integrated real-time monitoring tools display key network performance metrics. The interface uses dashboards and charts to show information such as bandwidth utilization, computing resource utilization, task processing latency, and link reliability. Users can set thresholds, and the system automatically detects abnormal states and alerts users via red alerts or pop-up windows. The status alarm function helps users promptly identify potential problems and bottlenecks in the network; users can click on alarm information to view detailed performance metrics and historical data records.

[0036] Dynamic Interactive Visualization: The network topology and data model of a digital twin network need to provide dynamic interactive functionality, supporting users to conduct in-depth analysis and exploration of the network status. This involves integrating various data visualization methods, such as bar charts, line charts, heatmaps, and statistical reports, using data analysis tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI). Users can view detailed node information, link status, and historical data records through click and drag-and-drop operations. The interface supports parameter adjustment and optimization strategy configuration, allowing users to directly manage and control the network within the visual environment. Through interactive operations and data analysis tools, users can deeply analyze network performance and monitor the real-time operational status of the entire satellite-ground collaborative edge network.

[0037] 3. Digital Twin Decision-Making Level

[0038] The digital twin decision-making layer, based on the digital twin models of satellites and UAVs built in the digital twin model layer, optimizes the digital twin models using decision algorithms according to real-time mission status. The optimization results are transmitted to the satellites and UAVs via twin data slices from the gateway station, enabling command issuance. The digital twin decision-making layer mainly includes two aspects:

[0039] (1) Decision Algorithm

[0040] The digital twin decision-making layer can employ various optimization algorithms, such as deep reinforcement learning, to optimize multi-objective problems related to resource allocation and task offloading. Through continuous iteration, the decision-making layer can dynamically adjust its strategies to minimize costs such as latency and energy consumption during task execution. The decision-making layer constructs a multi-objective decision-making model that comprehensively considers multiple factors, including time constraints, energy consumption constraints, resource constraints, and relational constraints, ensuring that each decision meets the global requirements of the space-ground collaborative edge network.

[0041] (2) Instruction Issuance

[0042] The decision-making level generates specific instructions based on the optimization strategy, including operational instructions such as task unloading and resource allocation. Subsequently, these instructions are fed back to satellites and UAVs through twin data slices from the gateway station, ensuring that mission execution can be adjusted according to the latest optimization strategy.

[0043] Through real-time simulation and optimized decision-making, full lifecycle management of satellite networks is achieved. This includes all stages from network design, deployment, operation to maintenance. The digital twin model provides accurate simulation support during the network design phase, optimizing network structure and resource allocation. During network deployment and operation, the digital twin model is dynamically updated through real-time monitoring and data acquisition, reflecting the actual network and equipment status. Artificial intelligence algorithms are used for real-time optimization decisions, ensuring efficient utilization of network resources and optimal performance. During maintenance, simulation predicts potential problems and faults in the network, enabling preventative maintenance and reducing failure rates and maintenance costs. Throughout the process, a feedback mechanism continuously transmits actual operational data, constantly calibrating and optimizing the digital twin model, improving simulation accuracy and decision-making effectiveness. This achieves continuous optimization and efficient management of the satellite network, ensuring its long-term stable operation and performance optimization in complex and dynamic environments.
