In this paper, we propose an Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework for wireless networks. The framework coordinates a pool of AI agents guided by Natural Language (NL) inputs from a human operator. At its core, the super agent is powered by a Hierarchical Online Decision Transformer (H-ODT). It orchestrates three categories of agents: (i) inter-slice, intra-slice resource allocation agents, (ii) network application orchestration agents, and (iii) self-healing agents. The orchestration takes place with the help of an Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) module that integrates knowledge from heterogeneous sources. In this proposed methodology, the super agent directly interfaces with operators and generates sequential policies to activate relevant agents. The proposed framework is evaluated against three state-of-the-art baselines, showing improved throughput, reduced network delay, and higher energy efficiency at both slice-level and system-wide performance metrics. Also, the proposed Agentic framework introduces a bi-level human operator intent validation methodology, both at the slice-level and Key Performance Indicator (KPI)-level using generative AI-based time series predictors. We could rule out performance-degrading operator intents with an accuracy of 88.5%. Lastly, while being interrupted by any performance-degrading events, the self-healing capability of Agentic AI in our framework automatically recovers 90% of its previous performance, avoiding quality-of-service drifts when there is no human involvement.

With the emergence of 6G, mobile networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous and dynamic, necessitating advanced automation for efficient management. Intent-Driven Networks (IDNs) address this by translating high-level intents into optimization policies. Large Language Models (LLMs) can enhance this process by understanding complex human instructions to enable adaptive, intelligent automation. Given the rapid advancements in Generative AI (GenAI), a comprehensive survey of LLM-based IDN architectures in disaggregated Radio Access Network (RAN) environments is both timely and critical. This article provides such a survey, along with a case study on a hierarchical learning-enabled IDN architecture that integrates GenAI across three key stages: intent processing, intent validation, and intent execution. Unlike most existing approaches that apply GenAI in the form of LLMs for intent processing only, we propose a hierarchical framework that introduces GenAI across all three stages of IDN. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed IDN management architecture, we present a case study based on the latest GenAI architecture named Mamba. The case study shows how the proposed GenAI-driven architecture enhances network performance through intelligent automation, surpassing the performance of the conventional IDN architectures.
