Customized User Plane Processing via Code Generating AI Agents for Next Generation Mobile Networks

arXiv:2604.03282v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is envisioned to have a crucial impact on next generation mobile networking, making the sixth generation (6G) system considerably more autonomous, flexible, and adaptive than its predecessors. By leveraging their natural language processing and code generation capabilities, AI agents enable novel interactions and services between networks and vertical applications. A particularly promising and interesting use case is the customization of connectivity services for vertical applications by generating new customized processing blocks based on text-based service requests. More specifically, AI agents are able to generate code for a new function block that handles user plane traffic, allowing it to inspect and decode a protocol data unit (PDU) and perform specified actions as requested by the application. In this study, we investigate the code generation problem for generating such customized processing blocks on-demand. We evaluate various factors affecting the accuracy of the code generation process in this context, including model selection, prompt design, and the provision of a code template for the agent to utilize. Our findings indicate that AI agents are capable of generating such blocks with the desired behavior on-demand under suitable conditions. We believe that exploring the code generation for network-specific tasks is a very interesting problem for 6G and beyond, enabling networks to achieve a new level of customization by generating new capabilities on-demand.

Chimera: Neuro-Symbolic Attention Primitives for Trustworthy Dataplane Intelligence

arXiv:2602.12851v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying expressive learning models directly on programmable dataplanes promises line-rate, low-latency traffic analysis but remains hindered by strict hardware constraints and the need for predictable, auditable behavior. Chimera introduces a principled framework that maps attention-oriented neural computations and symbolic constraints onto dataplane primitives, enabling trustworthy inference within the match-action pipeline. Chimera combines a kernelized, linearized attention approximation with a two-layer key-selection hierarchy and a cascade fusion mechanism that enforces hard symbolic guarantees while preserving neural expressivity. The design includes a hardware-aware mapping protocol and a two-timescale update scheme that together permit stable, line-rate operation under realistic dataplane budgets. The paper presents the Chimera architecture, a hardware mapping strategy, and empirical evidence showing that neuro-symbolic attention primitives can achieve high-fidelity inference within the resource envelope of commodity programmable switches.
