Interaction and Conflict Management in AI-assisted Operational Control Loops in 6G

This paper studies autonomous and AI-assisted control loops (ACLs) in the next generation of wireless networks in the lens of multi-agent environments. We will study the diverse interactions and conflict management among these loops. We propose ”interaction and conflict management” (ICM) modules to achieve coherent, consistent and interactions among these ACLs. We introduce three categories of ACLs based on their sizes, their cooperative and competitive behaviors, and their sharing of datasets and models. These categories help to introduce conflict resolution and interaction management mechanisms for ICM. Using Kubernetes, we present an implementation of ICM to remove the conflicts in the scheduling and rescheduling of Pods for different ACLs in networks.
