The NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin (AODT) is a platform that leverages the power of NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVIDIA Omniverse, and NVIDIA Aerial to provide a comprehensive, scalable, and flexible solution for 6G research and development. The platform enables researchers and developers to customize, program, and test 6G networks in near-real time, with AI/ML in the loop, and to simulate and optimize the network performance and quality of service based on site-specific data and system-level simulation. The platform has been adopted by Keysight and Ansys with advanced simulation tools. One is leveraging our state-of-the-art 3D electromagnetic ray tracing model and radio access network (RAN) modules for advanced 5G/6G end-to-end simulations. The other has integrated their PerceiveEM Solver into the AODT to leverage NVIDIA AI/ML with full-stack RAN in the loop to accelerate and simplify 6G research and development. The NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin has also empowered academia to unleash the potential of cloud and AI-native networks for 6G system research, design, and development.
