Bridging Physical and Digital Worlds: Embodied Large AI for Future Wireless Systems
This addresses the challenge of adapting AI to real-time wireless environments for improved network optimization and performance, representing a fundamental paradigm shift rather than an incremental improvement.
The paper tackles the problem of large AI models overlooking physical interactions in wireless systems, leading to difficulties with real-time dynamics and non-stationary environments, and proposes a paradigm shift to wireless embodied large AI (WELAI) to enable active embodiment, demonstrating its effectiveness in a case study.
Large artificial intelligence (AI) models offer revolutionary potential for future wireless systems, promising unprecedented capabilities in network optimization and performance. However, current paradigms largely overlook crucial physical interactions. This oversight means they primarily rely on offline datasets, leading to difficulties in handling real-time wireless dynamics and non-stationary environments. Furthermore, these models often lack the capability for active environmental probing. This paper proposes a fundamental paradigm shift towards wireless embodied large AI (WELAI), moving from passive observation to active embodiment. We first identify key challenges faced by existing models, then we explore the design principles and system structure of WELAI. Besides, we outline prospective applications in next-generation wireless. Finally, through an illustrative case study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of WELAI and point out promising research directions for realizing adaptive, robust, and autonomous wireless systems.
