Core Concepts
Wireless networks must be equipped with artificial general intelligence (AGI) capabilities, including common sense, reasoning, and planning, to enable truly autonomous and intelligent operation in support of emerging metaverse services and autonomous applications.
Abstract
The paper proposes a vision for designing AGI-native wireless networks that can overcome the limitations of current AI-native wireless systems. It argues that while AI-native networks can leverage reasoning and planning capabilities, they still lack the common sense necessary for true generalization and autonomy.
The key components of the proposed AGI-native wireless network architecture include:
Perception module: This module captures generalizable abstract representations of the physical world through a fusion of contrastive learning and causal representation learning.
World model: The world model combines causal modeling and hyper-dimensional (HD) computing to enable intuitive physics operations, analogical reasoning, and manipulation of the abstract representations.
Action-planning: This module employs intent-driven and objective-driven planning strategies, leveraging brain-inspired methods like integrated information theory and hierarchical abstractions, to maneuver the network and its autonomous agents.
The paper also discusses how this AGI-native network can enable three key use cases:
a) Analogical reasoning for next-generation digital twins (DTs)
b) Synchronized and resilient experiences for cognitive avatars
c) Brain-level metaverse experiences like holographic teleportation
Overall, the proposed AGI-native wireless network aims to transform the wireless landscape by equipping it with human-like cognitive abilities, enabling it to deal with unforeseen scenarios, reason by analogy, and plan actions in support of emerging metaverse and autonomous applications.
