Prof. Ren Yi of University of East Anglia

Unlike traditional mobile networks that are primarily designed for public use, 5G private networks are tailored to provide enhanced security features, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data transmitted over the network. A digital twin is a digital copy of a physical entity, which enables real-time monitoring of the physical system. Problems can be identified and tested before producing the final product. In this study, we built a 4G/5G testbed and its digital twin, and conducted encrypted traffic data analysis for 5G mobile networks.
