Agentic AI Networking for Heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Systems in Low-Altitude Wireless Networks

The paper introduces a hierarchical hybrid architecture combining large language models (LLMs) and multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to manage heterogeneous unmanned aerial systems in low‑altitude wireless networks (LAWNs). An outer LLM‑driven loop interprets service requirements and operator intent to reconfigure objectives and resource priorities, while an inner MARL loop executes decentralized policies under the updated game. A logistics‑monitoring case study demonstrates the framework’s ability to coordinate diverse services and adapt to changing conditions without retraining the MARL policies.

Threat-Aware Energy-Efficient Deployment for Dynamic UAV Networks: A Multi-Agent RL Approach

The paper introduces a three‑step framework for deploying multi‑UAV networks in threat‑prone environments. First, a threat‑aware K‑means algorithm determines the minimal number of UAVs and safe initial positions. Second, an optimal matching stage assigns UAVs to these positions to reduce energy use. Third, a threat‑aware multi‑agent twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (MATD3) algorithm dynamically optimizes UAV trajectories, power, and user associations, achieving zero safety violations and superior energy efficiency compared to other learning methods and heuristic baselines.

Diffusion Models for Smarter UAVs: Decision-Making and Modeling

The paper discusses how Diffusion Models (DMs) can improve decision-making and digital modeling for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It highlights the limitations of Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Digital Twin (DT) approaches, noting that DMs learn underlying probability distributions and generate realistic patterns, thereby addressing data scarcity and enhancing modeling accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate DMs’ effectiveness in estimating neighbor velocities for a four‑UAV swarm coordination task using Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Place, Slice and Schedule: Hierarchical O-RAN Control of a Tethered mmWave UAV-gNB

The paper proposes a hierarchical Open Radio Access Network (O‑RAN) control framework for tethered millimeter‑wave UAV‑mounted 5G base stations (gNBs). A Non‑Real‑Time RIC application jointly manages UAV placement and slice budgets, while a Near‑Real‑Time RIC application allocates per‑user resources using a permutation‑equivariant DeepSets Soft Actor‑Critic scheduler. This two‑level controller improves eMBB service‑level agreement satisfaction by up to 17 % and URLLC on‑time delivery by up to 42 % compared with conventional schedulers.
