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.

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.

PRIME: Plasticity Recovery in Multi-Agent Environments for UAV-Assisted Emergency Communication Networks

Most reinforcement learning controllers for these networks assume stationary conditions, and the few that handle change react to the external environment while leaving the network's internal state unexamined. We show that sustained non-stationarity damages this internal state directly: as objectives shift, neurons progressively fall dormant and the shared policy loses the capacity to learn.

AERIS: Offline Policy Improvement for Multi-UAV Integrated Sensing and Communication

AERIS is an offline policy improvement framework for multi-UAV integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) that learns from fixed flight logs using centralized training and decentralized execution. It introduces STAR-CRDT, an offline multi-agent RL algorithm that rectifies local actions and distills trusted improvements into decentralized actors, providing an offline-support policy improvement guarantee. Experiments demonstrate that STAR-CRDT boosts the main ISAC objective return by 29.3% and improves communication sum rate, sensing pass rate, and sensing margin while reducing collision-risk events by 54.2%.
