Network digital twin assisted network configuration generation based on performance monitoring

Embodiments here in disclose a method and system for network configuration generation using a network digital twin (NDT) comprising a spatio-temporal graph neural network (STGNN) for performance-based simulation in a communication network system is disclosed. A simulation request is received from a management service (MnS) consumer, including network parameters related to live network nodes. Performance data is retrieved from a management server, and performance is assessed against a performance threshold. Multi-domain telecom data is processed using a spatio-temporal graph neural network (STGNN) by a feature fusion attention mechanism, trained via a hybrid feedback loop with real and synthetic data. Upon meeting performance thresholds, a configuration recommendation is generated by a configuration recommendation engine, including an explanation and confidence value. The configuration recommendation is transmitted to the MnS consumer, enabling network automation without altering the live network directly.
