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.

Reinforcement Learning for Continuous-Time Jump Markov Decision Processes with Applications to Network Dynamic Pricing

The paper introduces reinforcement learning for Continuous-Time Jump Markov Decision Processes (CTJMDPs) with general discrete state spaces and continuous/discrete actions. It develops entropy‑regularized continuous‑time control and establishes theoretical foundations for q‑learning in this setting, providing model‑free algorithms that outperform naive discretization. Numerical tests on network dynamic pricing demonstrate the method’s ability to learn near‑optimal policies and scale to large networks.

Differentiable Policy Transport over Multi-Layer Network Feasibility Geometry

The paper introduces Network Feasibility Geometry Reinforcement Learning (NFG‑RL), a method that enforces multi‑layer network constraints—such as interference, power‑rate coupling, flow conservation, service chains, capacity, latency, and reliability—by transporting a proto‑policy through a differentiable feasibility map. By compiling heterogeneous constraints into typed residual blocks and using a variational transport operator, NFG‑RL ensures almost‑sure feasible execution and shapes exploration and gradients to respect active constraints. Experiments on two wireless‑edge surrogate environments show that NFG‑RL boosts feasible utility by 37.5–41.5 %, cuts raw‑action violations by 48.5–60.8 %, and reduces P99 delay by 57.0–75.5 % compared to leading baselines.
