Cellular research and development (R&D) is throttled by six structural processes that each consume months of manual engineering work per iteration: (i) synthesizing new features from standards or research papers into production code; (ii) conformance and interoperability testing; (iii) hardening against field anomalies and diverse deployment environments; (iv) data-driven optimization of network functionalities; (v) discovering and prototyping novel waveforms, functionalities, and capabilities for future standards; and (vi) securing the stack against vulnerabilities. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have compressed comparable R&D work in general software engineering from days to minutes, their known pitfalls worsen on Radio Access Network (RAN) use cases: they hallucinate Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and mis-read specifications, which kills interoperability of RAN components at the first mistake, and they heavily rely on simulations for designing algorithms, which is notorious for breaking when transferred to real hardware. To address these challenges, we present GENESIS, an agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework that converts intents (e.g., a specification clause, a telemetry anomaly, or a research hypothesis) into solutions validated with over-the-air experiments, fed back into a persistent knowledge base. GENESIS is built on three composable primitives (agents, skills, hooks) and a knowledge layer (SYNAPSE) that doubles as the source of ground truth and the recipient of every artifact the framework produces, making capabilities compound across runs.

In this paper, we introduce SeizNet, a closed-loop system for predicting epileptic seizures through the use of Deep Learning (DL) method and implantable sensor networks. While pharmacological treatment is effective for some epilepsy patients (with ~65M people affected worldwide), one out of three suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy. To alleviate the impact of seizure, predictive systems have been developed that can notify such patients of an impending seizure, allowing them to take precautionary measures. SeizNet leverages DL techniques and combines data from multiple recordings, specifically intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, that can significantly improve the specificity of seizure prediction while preserving very high levels of sensitivity. SeizNet DL algorithms are designed for efficient real-time execution at the edge, minimizing data privacy concerns, data transmission overhead, and power inefficiencies associated with cloud-based solutions. Our results indicate that SeizNet outperforms traditional single-modality and non-personalized prediction systems in all metrics, achieving up to 99% accuracy in predicting seizure, offering a promising new avenue in refractory epilepsy treatment.

Accurate, low-latency channel modeling is essential for real-time wireless network simulation and digital-twin applications. Traditional modeling methods like ray tracing are however computationally demanding and unsuited to model dynamic conditions. In this paper, we propose AIRMap, a deep-learning framework for ultra-fast radio-map estimation, along with an automated pipeline for creating the largest radio-map dataset to date. AIRMap uses a single-input U-Net autoencoder that processes only a 2D elevation map of terrain and building heights. Trained and evaluated on 60,000 Boston-area samples, spanning coverage areas from 500 m to 3 km per side, AIRMap predicts path gain with under 5 dB RMSE in 4 ms per inference on an NVIDIA L40S -- over 7000x faster than GPU-accelerated ray tracing based radio maps. A lightweight transfer learning calibration using just 20% of field measurements reduces the median error to approximately 10%, significantly outperforming traditional simulators, which exceed 50% error. Integration into the Colosseum emulator and the Sionna SYS platform demonstrate near-zero error in spectral efficiency and block-error rate compared to measurement-based channels. These findings validate AIRMap's potential for scalable, accurate, and real-time radio map estimation in wireless digital twins.

This demo presents SeizNet, an innovative system for predicting epileptic seizures benefiting from a multi-modal sensor network and utilizing Deep Learning (DL) techniques. Epilepsy affects approximately 65 million people worldwide, many of whom experience drug-resistant seizures. SeizNet aims at providing highly accurate alerts, allowing individuals to take preventive measures without being disturbed by false alarms. SeizNet uses a combination of data collected through either invasive (intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG)) or non-invasive (electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG)) sensors, and processed by advanced DL algorithms that are optimized for real-time inference at the edge, ensuring privacy and minimizing data transmission. SeizNet achieves > 97% accuracy in seizure prediction while keeping the size and energy restrictions of an implantable device.

This paper introduces an innovative framework designed for progressive (granular in time to onset) prediction of seizures through the utilization of a Deep Learning (DL) methodology based on non-invasive multi-modal sensor networks. Epilepsy, a debilitating neurological condition, affects an estimated 65 million individuals globally, with a substantial proportion facing drug-resistant epilepsy despite pharmacological interventions. To address this challenge, we advocate for predictive systems that provide timely alerts to individuals at risk, enabling them to take precautionary actions. Our framework employs advanced DL techniques and uses personalized data from a network of non-invasive electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy. The algorithms are optimized for real-time processing on edge devices, mitigating privacy concerns and minimizing data transmission overhead inherent in cloud-based solutions, ultimately preserving battery energy. Additionally, our system predicts the countdown time to seizures (with 15-minute intervals up to an hour prior to the onset), offering critical lead time for preventive actions. Our multi-modal model achieves 95% sensitivity, 98% specificity, and 97% accuracy, averaged among 29 patients.
