Digital Twin (DT) technology has recently emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to revolutionize wireless systems as it enables accurate simulations, better decision-making, and tangible operational improvements. Prior studies on DT within the context of next generation wireless technologies has primarily focused on identifying potential use cases, application scenarios, and standardization challenges. However, the existing research lacks translating theoretical ideas into real-world applications. Our research, in this paper, contributes to the practical realization of DT technology in the context of 6G wireless networks, demonstrating its potential impact on network planning, performance, and user experience. In particular, we explore the construction, validation, and applications of DTs utilizing an indoor over-the-air (OTA) testbed powered by an in-house developed Next Generation Radio Access Network (NGRAN) that is fully compliant with 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and Open RAN standards. First, we describe the steps that were followed to construct and validate a high-fidelity DT of our OTA testbed modeling both Radio Frequency (RF) environment and system components. Then, we demonstrate two pre-deployment use cases by explaining our extensive coverage estimation and network capacity planning OTA tests. Lastly, we also explore how DT enables practical machine learning solutions for post-deployment use cases and share our comprehensive OTA performance results, highlighting that our proposed mobility technique outperforms the classical approaches in terms of throughput and number of undesired handovers.
