Advanced Architectures Integrated With Agentic AI for Next-Generation Wireless Networks
Open accessAbstract
This paper investigates a range of cutting-edge technologies and architectural innovations aimed at simplifying network operations, reducing operational expenditure (OpEx), and enabling the deployment of new service models. The focus is on: 1) proposing novel, more efficient 6G architectures, with both Control and User planes enabling the seamless expansion of services, while addressing long-term 6G network evolution; 2) exploring advanced techniques for constrained artificial intelligence (AI) operations, particularly the design of AI agents for real-time learning, optimizing energy consumption, and the allocation of computational resources; 3) identifying technologies and architectures that support the orchestration of back-end services using serverless computing models across multiple domains, particularly for vertical industries; and 4) introducing optically-based, ultra-high-speed, low-latency network architectures, with fast optical switching and real-time control, replacing conventional electronic switching to reduce power consumption by an order of magnitude.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
