用自然语言控制6G网络,让AI自主调度并自我进化
AgentRAN: An Agentic AI Architecture for Autonomous Control of Open 6G Networks
- 基于大模型的AI代理通过对话协商,按时间、空间、协议层分解网络指令
- 实测支持毫秒级到分钟级动态调整,无需初始训练数据即可启动
- 适合想实现智能自治的运营商和研发人员,决策过程全程可审计
尽管开放无线接入网(Open RAN)具备可编程架构,当前部署仍严重依赖静态控制与人工操作。为突破此限制,我们提出AgentRAN——一种原生面向AI的开放6G网络智能体框架,能够根据自然语言意图生成并编排分布式AI代理。不同于传统需显式编程的方法,AgentRAN的大型语言模型驱动代理可理解自然语言意图,通过结构化对话协商策略,并在全网范围内协调控制回路。该框架构建了自组织的代理层级体系,将复杂意图按时间尺度(亚毫秒至分钟)、空间域(小区至全网)和协议层(物理层/媒体访问控制层至无线资源控制层)进行分解。核心创新是AI-RAN Factory,它持续从运行数据中生成优化后的代理与算法,使网络具备自主进化能力。我们在真实5G环境中验证了AgentRAN,展示了对功率控制与调度策略的动态适应能力。关键优势包括:可审计的透明决策、无需初始训练数据的启动能力,以及通过AI-RAN Factory实现的持续自我改进。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite the programmable architecture of Open RAN, today's deployments still rely heavily on static control and manual operations. To move beyond this limitation, we introduce AgentRAN, an AI-native, Open RAN-aligned agentic framework that generates and orchestrates a fabric of distributed AI agents based on natural language intents. Unlike traditional approaches that require explicit programming, AgentRAN's LLM-powered agents interpret natural language intents, negotiate strategies through structured conversations, and orchestrate control loops across the network. AgentRAN instantiates a self-organizing hierarchy of agents that decompose complex intents across time scales (from sub-millisecond to minutes), spatial domains (cell to network-wide), and protocol layers (PHY/MAC to RRC). A central innovation is the AI-RAN Factory, which continuously generates improved agents and algorithms from operational data, transforming the network into a system that evolves its own intelligence. We validate AgentRAN through live 5G experiments, demonstrating dynamic adaptation to changing operator intents across power control and scheduling. Key benefits include transparent decision-making (all agent reasoning is auditable), bootstrapped intelligence (no initial training data required), and continuous self-improvement via the AI-RAN Factory.
