Research Paper Overview
Leveraging AI Agents for Autonomous Networks: A Reference Architecture and Empirical Studies
Summary
This paper implements Joseph Sifakis's Autonomous Network Agent architecture using hybrid knowledge representation and coordinated proactive-reactive runtimes. It validates the approach with a Radio Access Network Link Adaptation Agent achieving sub-10 ms real-time control in 5G NR sub-6 GHz, improving downlink throughput by 6% and reducing Block Error Rate by 67% through dynamic Modulation and Coding Scheme optimization. The work bridges theoretical architecture and operational reality to enable Level 4 autonomous networks with self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimizing capabilities.
