Workshop on 6G Network Empowering Agents
April, 2026 Nanjing, Jiangsu, ChinaWorkshop Scope
With the rapid advancement of multimodal large models and embodied intelligence, a future populated by vast numbers of autonomous agents is gradually becoming a reality. These agents, capable of perception, decision-making, and action, are poised to become core components of the digital ecosystem. Their large-scale deployment and seamless operation impose fundamental requirements on 6G networks, demanding a shift beyond traditional data connectivity towards native capabilities that support autonomy, collaboration, and collective intelligence. 6G networks are expected to construct the foundational environment and enabling base for agent operation. By flexibly integrating communication, sensing, computing, and intelligence resources, 6G will respond to agent intent and semantics, dynamically manage multi-dimensional resources, and ultimately ensure the efficient and reliable operation of agent applications. However, to fully realize the vision of 6G-empowered agentic systems, key challenges in network architecture, collaboration mechanisms, semantic understanding, trust, and security must be overcome. The primary goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss development pathways and future opportunities, fostering an open and intelligent new 6G ecosystem.
This workshop seeks original and unpublished works in the broad area of 6G-empowered agents, including its system architecture, key technologies, and testbed validation. The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
6G Network Architecture for Agents.
Multi-Agent Collaboration and Network-Enabled Collective Intelligence
Intent-Driven and Semantic Communications for Autonomous Agents
Energy-Efficient Autonomous Decision-Making and Learning
Security, Privacy, and Trust for Agentic Systems over 6G
Network Protocol Optimization for Agent Cooperation
Testbeds, Prototyping and Standardization for Agentic 6G
