Advanced Architectures Integrated With Agentic AI for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

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.
