Digital twin framework for next generation networks

A system for a digital twin framework for an edge network comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:
• generate a digital twin model for physical nodes in the edge network, wherein the digital twin model includes a digital twin for a physical node of the physical nodes, the digital twin replicating the physical node;
• establish a coalition that includes peer physical nodes, digital twins of the peer physical nodes, and the physical node or the digital twin for the physical node;
• receive output metrics from members of the coalition;
• and
• determine that output metrics from the physical node or the digital twin for the physical node are inconsistent with output metrics from the peer physical nodes and digital twins;
• identify an error of the physical node or the digital twin for the physical node based in part on the inconsistency;
• update the digital twin model to halt communication with the physical node or the digital twin of the physical node;
• and
• create a path to another physical node or a digital twin of the another physical node in the digital twin model.
