09/01/2025 @ 14:00 - 17:30
Tutorial at IEEE PIMRC 2025
Date & Time: Monday, 1 September 2025, 14:00–17:30
Location: Istanbul, Türkiye
Presenters
- Associate Professor Mehdi Rasti (Centre for Wireless Communications & Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Oulu)
- Dr. Abdelhak Kharbouch (Centre for Wireless Communications, University of Oulu)
This tutorial explores how 6G-enabled digital twins (DTs) can transform vertical industries such as smart grids, smart cities, and transportation. It introduces 6G connectivity and beyond-connectivity services, key performance indicators (KPIs), and current digital twin platforms. The session also examines how O-RAN’s openness and programmability align with 6G’s vision of flexible, AI-native networks, enabling seamless integration of digital twins for real-time orchestration of virtual and physical systems.
Key topics include:
- Definition and applications of digital twins in verticals
- 6G connectivity vision, KPIs, and relevance for industries
- State-of-the-art in 6G and digital twins: low-latency, large-scale, distributed DTs
- Platforms and architectures: open-source and commercial solutions
- Research challenges: scalability, interoperability, security, privacy, and trust
- The path towards AI-native and autonomous digital twins over 6G
