Learning-to-Optimize as the Missing Architectural Layer of AI-Native Networks

The paper proposes that Learning-to-Optimize (L2O) should serve as a missing architectural layer in AI-native communication networks, bridging optimisation and AI intelligence. It redefines optimisation algorithms as offline knowledge generators that produce supervisory data for neural surrogate models, enabling low‑latency inference in dynamic environments. A four‑stage workflow—optimisation, knowledge generation, surrogate learning, and runtime inference—is introduced, and demonstrated on an NR‑V2X relay‑selection problem where a Graph Neural Network learns near‑optimal decisions from MILP solutions.

AI-Driven Real-Time Relay Optimisation in Smart Urban NR-V2X Networks via Learning-to-Optimise Graph Neural Networks

The paper introduces an AI-driven Learning-to-Optimise framework that uses Graph Neural Networks to select real‑time multi‑hop relays in NR‑V2X networks for smart cities. By modelling the vehicular network as a graph and training a GINE model with MILP‑derived optimal decisions, the method achieves near‑optimal connectivity, improving connectivity by up to 11.3% and speeding up computation by up to 100×. This enables scalable, real‑time network control suitable for Industry 4.0 and smart‑city deployments.

Multi-Turn Reasoning LLMs for Task Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing

The paper introduces COMLLM, a generative framework that combines Group Relative Policy Optimization with a Look‑Ahead Collaborative Simulation to enable multi‑turn reasoning for task offloading in Mobile Edge Computing. By performing multi‑step Monte Carlo rollouts that jointly model server queue dynamics, COMLLM incorporates long‑term system evolution into its reward design, achieving near‑optimal latency and improved load‑balancing fairness. The framework demonstrates zero‑shot scalability to larger network topologies, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning, deep reinforcement learning, and heuristic baselines without requiring retraining.

From Prior-Guided Heuristics to Deployable Agents: Accelerating Demonstration-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Deadline-Constrained Network Control

The paper proposes a deployment‑focused framework for deadline‑constrained network control, introducing the Effective Congestion (EC) metric family and Uniform Path Grouping (UPG) heuristic to better capture traffic urgency and balance load. It integrates these with a Multi‑Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning architecture (MADRL EC (p*)) that combines a distributed scheduler and a centralized RL router. A unified training objective merges live‑reward, pre‑collected‑reward, and policy‑imitation terms, leading to the Model‑Guided Annealed Reinforcement Learning (MGA‑RL) protocol built on DDPG, which generalizes offline‑to‑online learning for demonstration‑driven training.
