未来面向AI原生的下一代(NextG)无线接入网(包括6G及更远)管理面临巨大复杂性,远超传统自动化能力。为此,我们提出LLM-RAN Operator概念:将大语言模型(LLM)嵌入无线接入网(RAN)控制回路,将高层人类意图转化为最优网络操作。不同于以往经验性研究,本文构建了基于O-RAN标准的可验证形式化框架,通过适配器实现非实时(Non-Real-Time, RT)RIC中的战略型指导与近实时(Near-RT RIC)RIC中的反应式执行分离。该框架包含策略表达力的论述与收敛至稳定不动点的定理。通过严格的数学建模,本工作提供了分析和推理AI原生RAN控制可行性与稳定性的工具,识别出安全、实时性能与物理世界对齐等关键研究挑战。本文旨在弥合人工智能理论与无线系统工程之间的鸿沟,呼应AI4NextG愿景,推动具备知识理解与意图驱动能力的下一代无线网络发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The management of future AI-native Next-Generation (NextG) Radio Access Networks (RANs), including 6G and beyond, presents a challenge of immense complexity that exceeds the capabilities of traditional automation. In response, we introduce the concept of the LLM-RAN Operator. In this paradigm, a Large Language Model (LLM) is embedded into the RAN control loop to translate high-level human intents into optimal network actions. Unlike prior empirical studies, we present a formal framework for an LLM-RAN operator that builds on earlier work by making guarantees checkable through an adapter aligned with the Open RAN (O-RAN) standard, separating strategic LLM-driven guidance in the Non-Real-Time (RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC) from reactive execution in the Near-RT RIC, including a proposition on policy expressiveness and a theorem on convergence to stable fixed points. By framing the problem with mathematical rigor, our work provides the analytical tools to reason about the feasibility and stability of AI-native RAN control. It identifies critical research challenges in safety, real-time performance, and physical-world grounding. This paper aims to bridge the gap between AI theory and wireless systems engineering in the NextG era, aligning with the AI4NextG vision to develop knowledgeable, intent-driven wireless networks that integrate generative AI into the heart of the RAN.
