Agentic AI-RAN: Enabling Intent-Driven, Explainable and Self-Evolving Open RAN Intelligence
Zhizhou He, Yang Luo, Xinkai Liu +4
Open RAN (O-RAN) exposes rich control and telemetry interfaces across the Non-RT RIC, Near-RT RIC, and distributed units, but also makes it harder to operate multi-tenant, multi-ob…
Agentic AI for 6G: A New Paradigm for Autonomous RAN Security Compliance
Sotiris Chatzimiltis, Mahdi Boloursaz Mashhadi, Mohammad Shojafar +2
Agentic AI systems are emerging as powerful tools for automating complex, multi-step tasks across various industries. One such industry is telecommunications, where the growing com…
Solving the Post-Quantum Control Plane Bottleneck: Energy-Aware Cryptographic Scheduling in Open RAN
Neha Gupta, Hamed Alimohammadi, Mohammad Shojafar +2
The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) offers flexibility and innovation but introduces unique security vulnerabilities, particularly from cryptographically relevant quantum compute…
Talk Like a Packet: Rethinking Network Traffic Analysis with Transformer Foundation Models
Samara Mayhoub, Chuan Heng Foh, Mahdi Boloursaz Mashhadi +2
Inspired by the success of Transformer-based models in natural language processing, this paper investigates their potential as foundation models for network traffic analysis. We pr…
Towards a Multi-Layer Defence Framework for Securing Near-Real-Time Operations in Open RAN
Hamed Alimohammadi, Samara Mayhoub, Sotiris Chatzimiltis +2
Securing the near-real-time (near-RT) control operations in Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN) is increasingly critical, yet remains insufficiently addressed, as new runtime thr…
Interpretable Anomaly-Based DDoS Detection in AI-RAN with XAI and LLMs
Sotiris Chatzimiltis, Mohammad Shojafar, Mahdi Boloursaz Mashhadi +1
Next generation Radio Access Networks (RANs) introduce programmability, intelligence, and near real-time control through intelligent controllers, enabling enhanced security within…
