Cross-Domain Federated Semantic Communication with Global Representation Alignment and Domain-Aware Aggregation

Semantic communication can significantly improve bandwidth utilization in wireless systems by exploiting the meaning behind raw data. However, the advancements achieved through semantic communication are closely dependent on the development of deep learning (DL) models for joint source-channel coding (JSCC) encoder/decoder techniques, which require a large amount of data for training. To address this data-intensive nature of DL models, federated learning (FL) has been proposed to train a model in a distributed manner, where the server broadcasts the DL model to clients in the network for training with their local data. However, the conventional FL approaches suffer from catastrophic degradation when client data are from different domains. In contrast, in this paper, a novel FL framework is proposed to address this domain shift by constructing the global representation, which aligns with the local features of the clients to preserve the semantics of different data domains. In addition, the dominance problem of client domains with a large number of samples is identified and, then, addressed with a domain-aware aggregation approach. This work is the first to consider the domain shift in training the semantic communication system for the image reconstruction task. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the model-contrastive FL (MOON) framework by 0.5 for PSNR values under three domains at an SNR of 1 dB, and this gap continues to widen as the channel quality improves.

Agentic AI as a Network Control-Plane Intelligence Layer for Federated Learning over 6G

The shift toward user-customized on-device learning places new demands on wireless systems: models must be trained on diverse, distributed data while meeting strict latency, bandwidth, and reliability constraints. To address this, we propose an Agentic AI as the control layer for managing federated learning (FL) over 6G networks, which translates high-level task goals into actions that are aware of network conditions. Rather than simply viewing FL as a learning challenge, our system sees it as a combined task of learning and network management. A set of specialized agents focused on retrieval, planning, coding, and evaluation utilizes monitoring tools and optimization methods to handle client selection, incentive structuring, scheduling, resource allocation, adaptive local training, and code generation. The use of closed-loop evaluation and memory allows the system to consistently refine its decisions, taking into account varying signal-to-noise ratios, bandwidth conditions, and device capabilities. Finally, our case study has demonstrated the effectiveness of the Agentic AI system's use of tools for achieving high performance.

DeepSeek-Inspired Exploration of RL-based LLMs and Synergy with Wireless Networks: A Survey

Reinforcement learning (RL)-based large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Grok-3, have attracted widespread attention for their remarkable capabilities in multimodal data understanding. Meanwhile, the rapid expansion of information services has led to a growing demand for AI-enabled wireless networks. The open-source DeepSeek models are famous for their innovative designs, such as large-scale pure RL and cost-efficient training, which make them well-suited for practical deployment in wireless networks. By integrating DeepSeek-style LLMs with wireless infrastructures, a synergistic opportunity arises: the DeepSeek-style LLMs enhance network optimization with strong reasoning and decision-making abilities, while wireless infrastructure enables the broad deployment of these models. Motivated by this convergence, this survey presents a comprehensive DeepSeek-inspired exploration of RL-based LLMs in the context of wireless networks. We begin by reviewing key techniques behind network optimization to establish a foundation for understanding DeepSeek-style LLM integration. Next, we examine recent advancements in RL-based LLMs, using DeepSeek models as a representative example. Building on this, we explore the synergy between the two domains, highlighting motivations, challenges, and potential solutions. Finally, we highlight emerging directions for integrating LLMs with wireless networks, such as quantum, on-device, and neural-symbolic LLM models, as well as embodied AI agents. Overall, this survey offers a comprehensive examination of the interplay between DeepSeek-style LLMs and wireless networks, demonstrating how these domains can mutually enhance each other to drive innovation.

Federated Learning with Diffusion Models for Privacy-Sensitive Vision Tasks

Diffusion models have shown great potential for vision-related tasks, particularly for image generation. However, their training is typically conducted in a centralized manner, relying on data collected from publicly available sources. This approach may not be feasible or practical in many domains, such as the medical field, which involves privacy concerns over data collection. Despite the challenges associated with privacy-sensitive data, such domains could still benefit from valuable vision services provided by diffusion models. Federated learning (FL) plays a crucial role in enabling decentralized model training without compromising data privacy. Instead of collecting data, an FL system gathers model parameters, effectively safeguarding the private data of different parties involved. This makes FL systems vital for managing decentralized learning tasks, especially in scenarios where privacy-sensitive data is distributed across a network of clients. Nonetheless, FL presents its own set of challenges due to its distributed nature and privacy-preserving properties. Therefore, in this study, we explore the FL strategy to train diffusion models, paving the way for the development of federated diffusion models. We conduct experiments on various FL scenarios, and our findings demonstrate that federated diffusion models have great potential to deliver vision services to privacy-sensitive domains.
