A Multi-Agent System for 5G Throughput Prediction in Multi-Operator Urban Environments

Throughput prediction is foundational for artificial intelligence-driven 6G resource orchestration. Conventional monolithic machine learning models struggle to generalize across diverse operators, mobility modes, and traffic types, leaving a critical stochasticity gap between signal conditions and achievable throughput. To overcome these constraints in heterogeneous urban environments, we propose a Tiered Multi-Agent System (TMAS) that dynamically routes edge telemetry to context-aware Domain Micro-Agents, validated on a dataset of 48,618 samples collected in Sunway City, Malaysia, with Nemo Handy drive test software, spanning three Tier-1 mobile network operators, three mobility modes, namely (i) elevated pedestrian walkway, (ii) ground-level shuttle bus, and (iii) elevated bus rapid transit; and three traffic profiles, namely (i) persistent download, (ii) persistent upload, and (iii) adaptive video streaming. Our evaluations reveal that TMAS overcomes predictability bottlenecks, achieving a coefficient of determination (R2) of up to 0.931 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) as low as 0.53 Mbps. The system demonstrates high operational efficiency, with rapid micro-agent training times, low inference latencies, and agentic routing overhead of 0.004 to 0.126 ms. These latency characteristics indicate the architecture is a promising candidate for the response times required by next-generation wireless networks.

IoT-Driven Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) for Net Zero Energy Buildings: Concept, Integration and Future Directions

Construction and operating of buildings is one of the major contributors to global greenhouse emissions. With the inefficient usage of energy due to human behavior and manual operation, the energy consumption of buildings is further increased. These challenges highlight the need for improved Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) and data driven intelligence to enhance energy-efficiency in a building and contribute to Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) targets. This paper offers four keys contributions: i) a systematic review of IoT enabled BEMS including components, network architecture and functional capabilities, ii) an evaluation of real-world BEMS datasets to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) based predictive control, iii) an analysis of integration challenges related to interoperability, smart grids and net-zero energy strategies, and iv) a case study highlighting global best practices, performances outcomes, and lesson learned for scaling advanced BEMS solutions.

Large Artificial Intelligence Model Guided Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resource Allocation in Non Terrestrial Networks

Large AI Model (LAM) have been proposed to applications of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), that offer better performance with its great generalization and reduced task specific trainings. In this paper, we propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent that is guided by a Large Language Model (LLM). The LLM operates as a high level coordinator that generates textual guidance that shape the reward of the DRL agent during training. The results show that the LAM-DRL outperforms the traditional DRL by 40% in nominal weather scenarios and 64% in extreme weather scenarios compared to heuristics in terms of throughput, fairness, and outage probability.

Digital Twin for Ultra-Reliable & Low-Latency 6G Wireless Communications in Dense Urban City

High-frequency deployments in dense cities are difficult to plan because coverage, interference, and service reliability depend sensitively on local morphology. This paper develops a geometric Digital Twin (DT) of the Sunway City and uses it to study the service implications of a multi-site mmWave deployment. The DT is constructed from geo-referenced three-dimensional meshes of buildings, roads, and open areas, assembled in Blender and exported as a mesh scene. A seven-transmitter downlink at 10 GHz is then embedded into this geometry and evaluated using a GPU accelerated ray tracing engine that returns path-gain and Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) fields over a dense grid of user locations. These fields are mapped to achievable throughput and compared against representative target rates for immersive extended reality (XR), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). The resulting maps show that favourable streets and courtyards form narrow high rate corridors surrounded by deep shadows, even within a dense area. In the baseline deployment, one fifth of the simulated area can maintain 100 Mbps URLLC rates, and less than 10% of cells can reach 1.7 Gbps for XR, despite the presence of several rooftop sites. By exploiting the DT, we further quantify the macro-diversity margin between the best and second best serving sites and show that most URLLC-feasible cells have several decibels of SINR headroom that could be harvested through dual connectivity. The study shows how a city DT can translate ray tracing output into service centric metrics and planning insights, complementing both analytical models and expensive measurement campaigns.

Geometry-Aware LoRaWAN Gateway Placement in Dense Urban Cities Using Digital Twins

LoRaWAN deployments rely on rough range estimates or simplified propagation models to decide where to place/mount gateways. As a result, operators have limited visibility into how rooftop choice, streets, and building shadowing jointly affect coverage and reliability. This paper addresses the problem of gateway placement in dense urban environments by combining a geometry accurate Digital Twin (DT) with a GPU accelerated ray tracing engine. Existing studies optimize placement on abstract grids or tune models with sparse measurements; few works evaluate LoRaWAN gateways on a full 3D city model using a realistic link budget. In this paper, we develop a DT with ITU radio materials and evaluate eight candidate rooftops for RAK7289 WisGate Edge Pro gateways under a sub-GHz link budget derived from the data sheet. For each rooftop, we obtain Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR) on a 5 meter grid, derive robust and edge coverage indicators, and apply a greedy maximum coverage algorithm to rank sites and quantify the benefit of incremental densification. Results show that a single rooftop gateway covers one fifth of the full Sunway twin (i.e., the DT) at a robust SNR threshold, and that six sites still leave large areas of single gateway or out of coverage cells in surrounding residential streets. The findings from this paper shows that DT and ray tracing tools enable network operators to bridge the gap of expensive real-world trials and planning to identify if the planned LoRaWAN gateway is sufficient or additional sites are required.

A Safety-Constrained Reinforcement Learning Framework for Reliable Wireless Autonomy

Artificial intelligence (AI) and reinforcement learning (RL) have shown significant promise in wireless systems, enabling dynamic spectrum allocation, traffic management, and large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) coordination. However, their deployment in mission-critical applications introduces the risk of unsafe emergent behaviors, such as UAV collisions, denial-of-service events, or instability in vehicular networks. Existing safety mechanisms are predominantly reactive, relying on anomaly detection or fallback controllers that intervene only after unsafe actions occur, which cannot guarantee reliability in ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) settings. In this work, we propose a proactive safety-constrained RL framework that integrates proof-carrying control (PCC) with empowerment-budgeted (EB) enforcement. Each agent action is verified through lightweight mathematical certificates to ensure compliance with interference constraints, while empowerment budgets regulate the frequency of safety overrides to balance safety and autonomy. We implement this framework on a wireless uplink scheduling task using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed PCC+EB controller eliminates unsafe transmissions while preserving system throughput and predictable autonomy. Compared with unconstrained and reactive baselines, our method achieves provable safety guarantees with minimal performance degradation. These results highlight the potential of proactive safety constrained RL to enable trustworthy wireless autonomy in future 6G networks.

Maximizing UAV Cellular Connectivity with Reinforcement Learning for BVLoS Path Planning

This paper presents a reinforcement learning (RL) based approach for path planning of cellular connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLoS). The objective is to minimize travel distance while maximizing the quality of cellular link connectivity by considering real world aerial coverage constraints and employing an empirical aerial channel model. The proposed solution employs RL techniques to train an agent, using the quality of communication links between the UAV and base stations (BSs) as the reward function. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in training the agent and generating feasible UAV path plans. The proposed approach addresses the challenges due to limitations in UAV cellular communications, highlighting the need for investigations and considerations in this area. The RL algorithm efficiently identifies optimal paths, ensuring maximum connectivity with ground BSs to ensure safe and reliable BVLoS flight operation. Moreover, the solution can be deployed as an offline path planning module that can be integrated into future ground control systems (GCS) for UAV operations, enhancing their capabilities and safety. The method holds potential for complex long range UAV applications, advancing the technology in the field of cellular connected UAV path planning.

Sequence-Based Deep Learning for Handover Optimization in Dense Urban Cellular Network

Efficient handover management remains a critical challenge in dense urban cellular networks, where high cell density, user mobility, and diverse service demands increase the likelihood of unnecessary handovers and ping-pong effects. This paper leverages a real-world, multi-operator drive-test dataset of 30,925 labelled records collected within a 2 km area around Sunway City to investigate sequence-based deep learning approaches for handover detection and avoidance. We formulate handover prediction as a sequence problem and evaluate Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Transformer architectures under Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)-only and all-feature settings. The integration of multi-dimensional features significantly enhanced handover performance in dense urban cellular networks. The proposed GRU-based model achieved a remarkable 98% reduction in ping-pong handovers, alongside a 46.25% decrease in unnecessary handovers, outperforming the baseline RSRP-only approach which yielded a 22.19% reduction. Furthermore, the model demonstrated a 46% improvement in Time of Stay (ToS), indicating more stable user connections. With an inference time of just 0.91 seconds, the solution proves highly efficient and well-suited for real-time edge deployment scenarios. Compared to the conventional 3GPP A3 algorithm, these improvements demonstrate significant gains in mobility robustness and user Quality of Experience (QoE) improvement. The dataset is released to foster reproducibility and further research in intelligent mobility management for 5G and beyond.

Corrosion Risk Estimation for Heritage Preservation: An Internet of Things and Machine Learning Approach Using Temperature and Humidity

Proactive preservation of steel structures at culturally significant heritage sites like the San Sebastian Basilica in the Philippines requires accurate corrosion forecasting. This study developed an Internet of Things hardware system connected with LoRa wireless communications to monitor heritage buildings with steel structures. From a three year dataset generated by the IoT system, we built a machine learning framework for predicting atmospheric corrosion rates using only temperature and relative humidity data. Deployed via a Streamlit dashboard with ngrok tunneling for public access, the framework provides real-time corrosion monitoring and actionable preservation recommendations. This minimal-data approach is scalable and cost effective for heritage sites with limited monitoring resources, showing that advanced regression can extract accurate corrosion predictions from basic meteorological data enabling proactive preservation of culturally significant structures worldwide without requiring extensive sensor networks

An Urban Multi-Operator QoE-Aware Dataset for Cellular Networks in Dense Environments

Urban cellular networks face complex performance challenges due to high infrastructure density, varied user mobility, and diverse service demands. While several datasets address network behaviour across different environments, there is a lack of datasets that captures user centric Quality of Experience (QoE), and diverse mobility patterns needed for efficient network planning and optimization solutions, which are important for QoE driven optimizations and mobility management. This study presents a curated dataset of 30,925 labelled records, collected using GNetTrack Pro within a 2 km2 dense urban area, spanning three major commercial network operators. The dataset captures key signal quality parameters (e.g., RSRP, RSRQ, SNR), across multiple real world mobility modes including pedestrian routes, canopy walkways, shuttle buses, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes. It also includes diverse network traffic scenarios including (1) FTP upload and download, (2) video streaming, and (3) HTTP browsing. A total of 132 physical cell sites were identified and validated through OpenCellID and on-site field inspections, illustrating the high cell density characteristic of 5G and emerging heterogeneous network deployment. The dataset is particularly suited for machine learning applications, such as handover optimization, signal quality prediction, and multi operator performance evaluation. Released in a structured CSV format with accompanying preprocessing and visualization scripts, this dataset offers a reproducible, application ready resource for researchers and practitioners working on urban cellular network planning and optimization.

Empirical 3D Channel Modeling for Cellular-Connected UAVs: A Triple-Layer Machine Learning Approach

This work proposes an empirical air to ground (A2G) propagation model specifically designed for cellular connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An in depth aerial drive test was carried out within an operating Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, gathering thorough measurements of key network parameters. Rigid preprocessing and statistical analysis of these data produced a strong foundation for training a new triple layer machine learning (ML) model. The proposed ML framework employs a systematic hierarchical approach. Accordingly, the first two layers, Stepwise Linear Regression (STW) and Ensemble of Bagged Trees (EBT) generate predictions independently, meanwhile, the third layer, Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), explicitly acts as an aggregation layer, refining these predictions to accurately estimate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Received Signal Strength (RSSI), and Path Loss (PL). Compared to traditional single layer ML or computationally intensive ray tracing approaches, the proposed triple layer ML framework significantly improves predictive accuracy and robustness, achieving around 99 percent accuracy in training and above 90 percent in testing while utilizing a minimal but effective feature set log transformed 3D and 2D propagation distances, azimuth, and elevation angles. This streamlined feature selection substantially reduces computing complexity, thus enhancing scalability across various operating environments. The proposed frameworks practicality and efficacy for real world deployment in UAV integrated cellular networks are further demonstrated by comparative analyses, which underscore its substantial improvement.
