AI Agent Access (A 3 ) Network: An Embodied, Communication-Aware Multi-Agent Framework for 6G Coverage
Abstract
The vision of 6G communication demands autonomous and resilient networking in environments without fixed infrastructure. Yet most multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approaches focus on isolated stages—exploration, relay formation, or access—under static deployments and centralized control, limiting adaptability. We propose the AI Agent Access (A3) Network, a unified, embodied intelligence-driven framework that transforms multi-agent networking into a dynamic, decentralized, and end-to-end system. Unlike prior schemes, the A3Network integrates exploration, target user access, and backhaul maintenance within a single learning process, while supporting on-demand agent addition during runtime. Its decentralized policies ensure that even a single agent can operate independently with limited observations, while coordinated agents achieve scalable, communication-optimized coverage. By embedding link-level communication metrics into actor–critic learning, the A3Network couples topology formation with robust decision-making. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the A3Network not only balances exploration and communication efficiency but also delivers system-level adaptability absent in existing MARL frameworks, offering a new paradigm for 6G multi-agent networks.
