Workshop Scope

6G aims to advance the communication paradigm from "connecting things" to a deeper evolution of "connecting intelligence." Compared to previous systems, 6G networks are envisioned to possess native intelligence, capable of autonomous decision-making and providing external intelligent services. Achieving this vision urgently requires wireless access networks with embedded intelligence on the radio side, making AI-Native RAN a key research focus.

This workshop focuses on research topics related to building the architecture, achieving breakthroughs in key technologies, and testbed validation for intelligent 6G wireless networks. It calls for original and high-value academic research. The event aims to bring together experts from academia and industry to systematically discuss developmental challenges and future opportunities, promoting the construction and evolution of an open and deeply intelligent 6G Radio Access Network (RAN) ecosystem.

Technical scope includes:

• Architectures and frameworks for AI-Native RAN

• Performance evaluation of AI-Native RAN enhancement embodied AI scenarios

• Large AI models for intelligent optimization and orchestration in AI-Native RAN

• Integration of AI/ML for Agentic RAN management and control

• Agentic RAN frameworks, use cases, and enabling technologies

• AI Agent orchestration and lifecycle management toward 6G

• Testbeds, standardization progress, and deployment  for AI-Native RAN
