Abstract

Collecting relevant data from Internet of Things devices under freshness and energy constraints is a key challenge in 6G edge networks. A lightweight neural network on the device filters irrelevant observations, but storing it in dynamic random access memory consumes refresh energy during standby. This letter proposes a pull-based framework where an edge server remotely activates and approximates memory and jointly selects the activation timing, refresh period, model size, and transmission threshold. We derive the expected freshness and energy over erasure channels in closed form and show that the scheme consumes less energy than an always-on baseline under the same freshness constraint.

MCCL: Measurement-based Collective Communication Library

Collective communication is a critical performance bottleneck in large-scale distributed training. Existing libraries and synthesis frameworks compute open-loop schedules once, assuming a static topology and peak link capacities. In production, however, persistent gray failures can silently degrade link throughput and latency for hours, causing pre-computed schedules to lose much of their efficiency during execution. In this paper, we present Measurement-based Collective Communication Library (MCCL), a collective communication library that closes the loop between runtime network measurement and dynamic schedule synthesis. MCCL passively measures GPU-to-GPU throughput, detects persistent degradation, re-synthesizes the affected communication-intensive schedules with warm-started synthesizers, and hot-swaps them without interrupting training. We validate the complete loop on a multi-node hardware prototype and use simulations to evaluate cluster-scale scenarios. In our experiments, MCCL incurs negligible overhead (<2%) while maintaining high measurement accuracy (<1.2% error) and low schedule hot-swap time (about 12 ms). Notably, under gray failures, MCCL reduces training time by up to 4.99x over static schedules on simulated training workloads for state-of-the-art LLMs such as Llama and DeepSeek.

5uGUE: Agentic Hardware-in-the-Loop Fuzzing for 5G Devices and beyond

In this paper, we present 5uGUE, a large language model (LLM)-driven hardware-in-the-loop agent, which enables the wireless fuzzing of 5G-enabled devices (such as mobile phones). 5uGUE combines multi-step reasoning with tool-assisted interaction and integrates into the fuzzing pipeline by leveraging specialized tools for internet search, 5G protocol analysis, memory management, and test-case execution. The agent iteratively generates test cases, executes them on targets, collects runtime feedback, and adaptively refines the fuzzing strategy. We evaluate 5uGUE on five commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 5G devices across six LLMs. The best performing runs for 5uGUE trigger 167 crashes in total (141 novel and 31 unique) within 60 interaction turns (49 to 133 minutes total runtime). In contrast, the best runs for the state-of-the-art baseline (5GHOUL) discovers only 13 crashes in total (10 novel and 6 unique) within 150 minutes. Overall, by integrating LLM-driven agents, 5uGUE demonstrates significantly better crash discovery performance (12.8x total, 5.2x unique improvement). Notably, among the crashes discovered by 5uGUE, MediaTek has confirmed two new high-severity vulnerabilities, with one CVE assigned (CVE-2026-20525), while UNISOC confirmed seven crashes. Finally, to demonstrate that 5uGUE is agnostic to wireless protocols, we also extend it to Bluetooth Classic with only minimal code changes. In our evaluations, 5uGUE finds an average of 6.4 novel crashes and 1.6 unique crashes. In a nutshell, 5uGUE highlights that LLM agents are capable to operate effectively beyond software-in-the-loop settings, extending autonomous vulnerability discovery to the proprietary, hardware-bound systems that affect billions of end-user devices across multiple wireless protocols.

Workflow-Aware Communication and Computation Scheduling for Mobile Edge AI Agents

AI agents are increasingly deployed in mobile edge environments to autonomously handle diverse tasks through multi-step workflows. Unlike conventional dependency-aware tasks with predefined dependency structures, agent workflows are dynamically generated based on intermediate execution results. To minimize the weighted sum of job completion latencies, this paper models partially revealed agent workflows using dynamic workflow graphs and formulates an online scheduling problem that jointly optimizes computation placement, wireless resource block allocation, and edge computing resource allocation. To address the uncertainty of future workflow evolution, we first transform the weighted completion time objective into an equivalent per-slot holding cost and characterize the optimal policy through a Bellman equation. We then construct a tractable look-ahead cost-to-go surrogate based on the revealed workflow and the estimated remaining latencies of active jobs. The proposed scheduling algorithm leverages the surrogate to determine computation placement and uses the resulting operation criticality to allocate wireless and edge computing resources online. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the benchmark schemes across diverse scenarios.
