CityDeploy-Bench: Benchmarking Physics-Grounded Spatial Set Planning for Multi-Transmitter Network Deployment

CityDeploy-Bench is a new benchmark that frames multi‑transmitter wireless network deployment as a physics‑grounded spatial set planning problem, verified by a unified ray‑tracing engine. It decouples utility representation from planning dynamics, allowing systematic comparison of direct scalar rewards, relational models, and higher‑order interaction structures across different planners. Experiments show that as physical coupling increases, deployment quality hinges on capturing collective transmitter interactions; stronger search alone cannot compensate for missing relational structure, highlighting the coordination nature of the problem.

Generalizable Multi-Task Learning for Wireless Networks Using Prompt Decision Transformers

arXiv:2606. 04328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future wireless networks demand rapid adaptation to highly heterogeneous environments and dynamic task configurations, necessitating a shift from conventional rule-based and optimization-driven radio resource management (RRM) toward artificial intelligence (AI)-driven RRM.

Multi-Modal Environment-Aware Beam Management for Massive MIMO: A Geometry-Driven Virtual Base Station Framework

The paper presents a geometry-driven framework for beam management in high-frequency massive MIMO systems. It constructs an offline virtual base station database using 3D LiDAR point clouds and location data to model dominant reflection paths, enabling a coarse channel reconstruction. A VBS-assisted orthogonal-pilot scheme and a dual-agent dueling double deep Q-network are then employed to refine beam estimates and perform coordinated beam selection, yielding improved training efficiency and performance over existing baselines.

MAPF-World: Action World Model for Multi-Agent Path Finding

MAPF-World introduces an autoregressive action world model for multi‑agent path finding that predicts short‑horizon local observations and neighboring agents’ action intentions, enabling decisions beyond immediate local views. The model incorporates a spatio‑agent positional encoding within Transformer architectures to enhance spatial awareness and agent semantics, fostering coordinated behaviors. Experiments on diverse maps, including a new automated map generator based on real‑world urban layouts, show that MAPF‑World outperforms existing learned solvers, achieving strong performance, robust zero‑shot generalization, and high success rates even at high agent densities.

Hybrid Belief Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Coordinated Spatial Exploration

The paper introduces Hybrid Belief Reinforcement Learning (HBRL), a two‑phase framework for coordinating multiple autonomous agents in spatial exploration tasks. In phase one, agents build spatial beliefs via a Log‑Gaussian Cox Process and plan information‑driven trajectories using a Pathwise Mutual Information planner; in phase two, a Soft Actor‑Critic policy is warm‑started through dual‑channel knowledge transfer that incorporates belief states and replay‑buffer demonstrations. Experiments on UAV wireless service provisioning and NYC taxi demand sensing show significant performance gains, with the dual‑channel transfer outperforming single‑channel approaches.

WONDER: A Radio World Model-based Negotiation Framework for Multi-Agent UAV Coverage Optimization

The paper introduces WONDER, a radio world‑model‑based negotiation framework designed to optimize multi‑UAV coverage for rapid post‑disaster wireless restoration. WONDER employs a Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architecture to forecast the incremental radio impact of candidate UAV trajectories and uses multi‑round negotiation to sequentially commit trajectories while updating the context. Experiments in the RadioDynamics simulation environment demonstrate that WONDER outperforms six other methods, achieving a balanced score of 0.870 and a 0.162 coverage advantage over STACCA while preserving full UAV connectivity.
