摘要:

第六代(6G)网络日益被设想为整合通信、传感和计算的AI原生基础设施。然而,现有方法仍以优化为中心,依赖闭环控制,具有有限的推理能力。本文主张向智能体AI原生6G范式转变,其中基于大语言模型(LLM)的智能体作为受政策约束的推理实体,在确定性3GPP基础设施之上运行于语义控制平面。我们提出四层架构,整合确定性网络基础设施、意图和上下文的语义抽象、分层推理以及跨设备、边缘和核心域的分布式多智能体系统。为评估可行性,我们开发了智能体推理和编排框架,并通过领域特定的6G基准进行广泛实证研究。结果揭示了推理能力与系统效率之间的根本权衡,表明没有单一模型能同时满足延迟、吞吐量和准确性要求。相反,异构部署LLM智能体跨设备-边缘-核心连续体是必要的,以平衡这些约束。我们进一步表明,量化在模型间引入非均匀影响,强化了系统级优化而非模型级压缩的必要性。这些发现确立了智能体智能作为6G可行的架构方向,并突显了实现可扩展、可信和自主网络的关键挑战。所有实验结果和评估脚本均已公开以支持可重复性。

英文摘要:

Sixth-generation (6G) networks are increasingly envisioned as AI-native infrastructures integrating communication, sensing, and computing into a unified fabric. However, existing approaches remain largely optimization-centric, relying on closed-loop control with limited reasoning capability. In this paper, we argue for a paradigm shift toward Agentic AI-Native 6G, in which Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents operate as bounded, policy-governed reasoning entities within a semantic control plane layered above deterministic 3GPP infrastructure. We propose a four-layer architecture that integrates deterministic network infrastructure, semantic abstraction of intent and context, hierarchical reasoning, and a distributed multi-agent fabric spanning device, edge, and core domains. To assess feasibility, we develop a proof-of-concept agentic reasoning and orchestration framework and conduct an extensive empirical study using a domain-specific 6G benchmark under realistic deployment constraints. Our results reveal a fundamental tradeoff between reasoning capability and system efficiency, showing that no single model simultaneously satisfies latency, throughput, and accuracy requirements. Instead, heterogeneous deployment of LLM agents across the device--edge--core continuum is necessary to balance these constraints. We further demonstrate that quantization introduces non-uniform effects across models, reinforcing the need for system-level optimization rather than model-level compression alone. These findings establish agentic intelligence as a viable architectural direction for 6G and highlight key challenges in achieving scalable, trustworthy, and self-reasoning networks. All experimental results and evaluation scripts are publicly available to support reproducibility.
