The Cost of Saying Hello: An Empirical Study of Handshake Overhead in AI Agent Communication Protocols

The paper reports the first empirical, phase‑decomposed benchmark of handshake overhead in three major AI agent communication protocols—MCP (2025 and 2026 versions), A2A, and ACP—using their official SDKs. It measures round‑trip counts, per‑phase latency, wire bytes, and token cost across cold‑start, warm‑repeat, capability‑mismatch, and degraded‑metadata scenarios, finding that round‑trip count dominates cost (e.g., MCP’s legacy handshake requires three round trips and 230 ms at 50 ms RTT, while A2A needs one round trip and 61 ms). The study also shows that handshake cost scales with the counterpart’s capability inventory, with a 200‑capability counterpart consuming 11 % of a 200k‑token context window, and documents protocol evolution that reduces MCP’s handshake from three to zero round trips on warm reconnects.

KOSMOS: Self-scheduling Persistent Kernels for Communication-Compute Overlap

KOSMOS is a library that enables self‑scheduling persistent kernels for transformer training, allowing workgroups to switch between communication and computation roles as data becomes ready without a scheduler or tuned split. It fuses all tensor and sequence parallelism collectives with GEMM operations and runs entire expert layers in a single launch per direction. On AMD Instinct GPUs, KOSMOS improves TP+SP end‑to‑end training in Megatron‑LM by up to 1.28× and accelerates DeepSeek‑V3 and Qwen3‑235B proxies by 1.29–1.83× over DeepEP.

Improving 5G AI-RAN MCS Selection by Predicting Retransmissions

The paper introduces NOSTRAdAMUS, a predictive link‑adaptation framework for 5G NR that forecasts retransmissions in the next radio frame using recent HARQ history and adjusts the Modulation and Coding Scheme accordingly. Gradient Boosting models achieve 82.9% overall accuracy, with high‑confidence predictions correct 94.2% of the time and a 5.5 µs inference latency. Evaluated OTA on the X5G testbed and various channel emulators, the approach boosts goodput by up to 71.5% and cuts retransmissions by up to 71.8% without retraining across diverse scenarios.
