arXiv:2607. 12590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is traditionally concerned with learning a control policy for a fixed environment.
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.

arXiv:2606. 16331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The integration of generative artificial intelligence with wireless communication and signal processing systems has opened new avenues for intelligent, data-driven decision-making in future 6G networks.
arXiv:2606. 20236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many decision-making problems in computing and networking systems can be naturally formulated as cost-minimization problems under performance constraints.
The paper proposes a centralized training with decentralized execution framework for multi‑agent UAV pathfinding in stochastic environments, leveraging multi‑agent reinforcement learning enhanced by model predictive control concepts. Agents communicate only with a centralized planner and use a distance‑weighted mean‑field observation to plan feasible paths, while multi‑step value convergence improves training efficiency. Experiments, including ablation and real‑robot studies, demonstrate the method’s effectiveness and generalization.
