Abstract

   Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) represents a paradigm
   shift in wireless networks, where sensing and communication functions
   are jointly designed and optimized.  By leveraging the same spectral
   and hardware resources, ISAC enables advanced capabilities such as
   environment perception, object tracking, and situational awareness,
   while maintaining efficient and reliable data transmission.  There
   are sensing scenarios and use cases that involve a distributed
   sensing task, in which multiple sensors participate and contribute
   with (raw or pre-processed) sensing data, which is processed by a
   sensing service (e.g., fusing sensing measurements from the different
   sensors).  This sensing service needs to be executed on some kind of
   sensing processing/computing function which receives raw (or
   preprocessed) data from multiple sources, potentially of different
   (heterogeneous) kinds (e.g., RF and non-RF sensing, or RF from
   different radio technologies).  This processing might impose time
   synchronization constraints on the reception of the different parts
   of data, as well as potentially specific computing and/or AI/ML
   capabilities on the processing node.

   The joint selection of sensing entities, processing locations, and
   network configuration under time-varying conditions results in a
   large, coupled, and non-stationary decision space.  These
   characteristics motivate the use of agentic AI to enable distributed,
   closed-loop configuration and reconfiguration of sensing and
   networking resources.

   This document presents initial considerations and potential solution
   directions for an architecture that enables the use of agentic AI for
   sensing (as an exemplary use case) supporting network optimization.

1.  Introduction

   Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is emerging as a key
   enabler for next-generation wireless networks, integrating sensing
   and communication functionalities within a unified system.  By
   leveraging the same spectral, hardware, and computational resources,
   ISAC enhances network efficiency while enabling new capabilities such
   as high-resolution environment perception, object detection, and
   situational awareness.  This paradigm shift is particularly relevant
   for applications requiring both reliable connectivity and precise
   sensing, such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and
   smart city deployments.  Given its strategic importance, ISAC has
   gained significant traction in standardization efforts.  The ETSI

   Industry Specification Group (ISG) on ISAC has been established to
   explore technical requirements and use cases, while 3GPP has
   initiated discussions on ISAC-related features within its ongoing
   research on future 6G systems.  Furthermore, research initiatives
   within the IEEE and IETF are investigating how ISAC can be integrated
   into network architectures [I-D.ietf-green-use-cases], spectrum
   management, and protocol design, making it a critical area of
   development in the evolution of wireless networks.

   There are sensing scenarios and use cases that involve a distributed
   sensing task, in which multiple sensors participate and contribute
   with (raw or pre-processed) sensing data, which is processed by a
   sensing service (e.g., fusing sensing measurements from the different
   sensors).  This sensing service needs to be executed on some kind of
   sensing processing/computing function which receives raw (or
   preprocessed) data from multiple sources, potentially of different
   (heterogeneous) kinds (e.g., RF and non-RF sensing, or RF from
   different radio technologies).  This processing might impose time
   synchronization constraints on the reception of the different parts
   of data, as well as potentially specific computing and/or AI/ML
   capabilities on the processing node.

   The selection of the nodes that participate as sensors and sensing
   processing functions in a given distributed sensing task and the
   configuration of the network to facilitate the sensing task, and
   optimize both the sensing and the network operation, are not
   independent.  However, achieving an overall optimal configuration is
   not a trivial task, especially when multiple optimization metrics
   and/or constraints are considered.

   In distributed sensing, sensing KPIs (e.g., accuracy, refresh rate,
   confidence level, latency) are tightly coupled with radio, compute,
   and transport configurations.  Moreover, mobility, traffic load, and
   environmental dynamics continuously alter the relationship between
   configuration and achieved sensing performance.  Static or centrally
   pre-computed deterministic configurations can therefore become
   suboptimal or infeasible at run time.  An agentic AI approach enables
   distributed decision-making, coordination among sensing and
   networking entities, and adaptive reconfiguration to sustain sensing
   KPIs under dynamic conditions

   We assume a generic network architecture, where IETF CATS and GREEN
   architectural considerations and solutions can be of application,
   though the solution can be generalized to scenarios based on
   different architectures.

Bernardos, et al.       Expires 3 September 2026                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft    Agentic AI with network optimization        March 2026

   We assume that there is a network function in charge of the
   coordination and configuration of the distributed sensing task, aware
   of which nodes in the network can participate as sensor nodes, and
   potentially of the capabilities of potential sensing processing
   nodes.  This network function can be, for example, the Gateway
   Sensing Function (GSF)/ the Sensing Control Function (SCF) as
   introduced by 3GPP.

   We also assume that there is a network function in charge of managing
   the network configuration of the network, such as an SMF/AMF in a
   3GPP 5G architecture.

   We assume that there are AI agents, which might run on network nodes
   (such as terminals, radio access nodes or infrastructure nodes), of
   two types: AI agents for Sensing (AIaS) and AI agents for Network
   (AIaN).  These agents can run tasks aimed at finding an optimal
   configuration for sensing and connectivity, respectively and can
   interact among them to pursue these goals.

   A given network function or application function might request a
   specific sensing task (with associated requirements, e.g., in terms
   of accuracy) to the SCF directly or indirectly via the NEF and/or
   GSF, which can then request several AI agents for Sensing to select a
   sensing configuration and interact with the AI network agents to
   ensure the network is configured as needed.  Note that the sensing
   task request might have some associated requirements, specific to the
   task (such as accuracy, or privacy) but also global ones, such as
   energy consumption, etc.

3.  Enabling agentic AI distributed sensing with network optimization

   We describe next an example of operation and signaling for a
   distributed sensing task to be configured and dynamically optimized
   based on agentic AI for sensing and networking.  An AI agent for
   Sensing and an AI agent for Networking run on several network nodes
   (terminals, access nodes and processing nodes) and might interact to
   agree on a sensing and networking configuration that overall meets
   the sensing requirements while optimizing other metrics (such as
   privacy and energy consumption).

       Figure 2: Exemplary signaling of agentic AI interactions for
                      optimized distributed sensing

   Figure 2 shows the message sequence chart of an agentic AI-enabled
   multi-sensor distributed sensing which is explained next:

Bernardos, et al.       Expires 3 September 2026                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft    Agentic AI with network optimization        March 2026

   0.   We assume AI agents for Sensing have been trained with some
        data, possibly based on their own local knowledge and
        potentially enriched with additional data.  We also assume they
        have some knowledge about other neighboring agents and that
        there could be some type of centralized/distributed repository
        where they are registered.

   1.   The network receives a sensing request.  A sensing managing
        entity, such as the SCF, receives this request and decides to
        delegate that request, or part of that request to some AI agents
        for Sensing running in the network.  For example, the initial
        request received by the network may be for a XR/multi-media
        service (which explicitly or implicitly require sensing
        services), while the sensing request that is delegated to AI
        Agents may be created to meet the sensing requirements of the
        initial request.  SCF would decide which specific sensing
        request should be processed via AI agents and which part of the
        sensing could be done using sensing "traditional" (i.e., not
        using agentic AI) methods.

   2.   Based on the information and metadata associated to the sensing
        request (e.g., location of the intended sensing), the SCF
        determines to use AI Agents for executing the sensing task, and
        sends a request to the AI agent for Sensing at the chosen
        sensing entity (Access Node #1 [AN#1], in our example).  In this
        step the SCF may determine to use AI Agents based on any
        combination of:

        a.  an indication received in the initial request that AI Agents
            can/must be used.

        b.  Received policy information, indicates that AI Agents can/
            must be used.

        c.  Fast reactions to changes in contextual information and
            availability of resources is required.

        d.  The overall service requirements allow for delays and errors
            incurred due to potential conflicts among agents and
            performance oscillations.  These may be specified as
            threshold values.

        This request might include the following information:

        a.  Sensing task description: metadata indicating what is the
            sensing task, sensing accuracy (spatial and temporal),
            whether the sensing task involves stationary or mobile
            targets, Time information associated with the sensing task
            (e.g., a time period), etc.

        b.  Sensing data governance requirements about privacy, security
            and trustworthiness such as for example what sensing data
            can be processed where in the system and what pre-processing
            and processing might be allowed to happen with the data, its
            fusion framework with other data and its exposure to
            application function or network function.  Examples (non-
            limiting) of encoding of this are:

            i.    Processing of raw sensing data: only local at the
                  originating node / local or remote processing allowed
                  / partial processing allowed remotely.

            ii.   Trustworthiness of data: any generated data is trusted
                  / only data from a list of explicit sources is trusted
                  / data has to be signed by a trusted source to be
                  trusted.

            iii.  Confidentiality of exchanged data: all data (processed
                  or not) must be encrypted (specifying the mechanism to
                  be used to encrypt it), data (raw/partially processed/
                  processed) must be encrypted, all data can be sent in
                  clear.

            iv.   List of trusted generating entities/administrative
                  domains.

            Allowed types of sensing fusion, e.g., a combination of the
            following possible options: only with raw data of some kind,
            mixing data partially processed with raw data, mixing
            different types of sensing technologies, mixing different
            levels of trustworthiness, etc.  If the nodes involved in
            the sensing task belong to different administrative domains,
            additional mechanisms might need to be used to guarantee/
            prove that the processing and/or confidentiality of the
            sensing data is enforced.  An example would be the use of a
            private or public blockchain.

        c.  Allowed level of agentic AI interactions.  This parameter,
            which might be expressed in different ways, indicates how
            different agents are allowed to interact towards completion
            of the intended task.  For example, the requester may
            indicate that the agent receiving the request has to perform

            the required actions without interacting with other sensing
            agents, or without interacting with networking agents, or
            which limitations to apply in regards of other agentic
            interactions (e.g., agent ownership limitations).  It also
            includes whether the involved agents are responsible for
            monitoring the sensing task to trigger alerts and propose
            reconfiguration actions if needed.  This parameter may also
            indicate the maximum size of the agent-to-agent
            communication hops, or tiers or number of worker Agents used
            for executing part of a task or in whole.  This may be seen
            as the maximum size or depth of the agent-to-agent network
            (graph).  When this parameter is sent from one agent to
            another agent (as in step 3.d), it may adjust the value to
            be the (maximum size) relative to that specific agent node/
            hop (for example, allowed_level_of_agentic_AI_interactions =
            allowed_level_of_agentic_AI_interactions - 1).

        d.  Additional network requirements, such as energy consumption
            metrics.

        e.  List of AI agents available (optional, as this might be
            known by the receiving AI agent based on its local context
            and/or other AI agent discovery mechanisms).

   3.   The receiving AI agent for Sensing (in this example AIaS@AN#1)
        processes the request and based on the parameters received and
        its knowledge of the local context and prior training, decides
        whether it can honor the received request and whether it can
        interact with other agents.  In this example, the agent decides
        to interact with three additional AI agents for sensing
        (@terminal#1 and @terminal#2, @processing node/SPF #1) to
        basically configure a multistatic active sensing (involving
        terminals #1 and #2 and AN#1) with the sensing processing done
        at processing node/SPF #1.  AIaS@AN#1 sends an Agentic sensing
        task request, which includes the following parameters:

        a.  Sensing task description: metadata indicating what is the
            intended sensing task, sensing accuracy (spatial and
            temporal), whether the sensing task involves stationary or
            mobile targets, etc.

        b.  Intended sensing task configuration, including parameters
            such as:

            i.    Static/Multi-static.

            ii.   Active/passive sensing.

Internet-Draft    Agentic AI with network optimization        March 2026

            iii.  Sensing technology (e.g., WiFi, 5G).

            iv.   Other participant node's IDs.

        c.  Sensing data governance requirements about privacy, security
            and trustworthiness such as for example what sensing data
            can be processed where in the system and what pre-processing
            and processing might be allowed to happen with the data, its
            fusion framework with other data and its exposure to
            application function or network function.  Examples (non-
            limiting) of encoding of this are:

            i.    Processing of raw sensing data: only local at the
                  originating node / local or remote processing allowed
                  / partial processing allowed remotely.

            ii.   Trustworthiness of data: any generated data is trusted
                  / only data from a list of explicit sources is trusted
                  / data has to be signed by a trusted source to be
                  trusted.

            iii.  Confidentiality of exchanged data: all data (processed
                  or not) must be encrypted (specifying the mechanism to
                  be used to encrypt it), data (raw/partially processed/
                  processed) must be encrypted, all data can be sent in
                  clear.

            iv.   List of trusted generating entities/administrative
                  domains.

            Allowed types of sensing fusion, e.g., a combination of the
            following possible options (non limiting): only with raw
            data of some kind, mixing data partially processed with raw
            data, mixing different types of sensing technologies, mixing
            different levels of trustworthiness, etc.  If the nodes
            involved in the sensing task belong to different
            administrative domains, additional mechanisms might need to
            be used to guarantee/prove that the processing and/or
            confidentiality of the sensing data is enforced.  An example
            would be the use of a private or public blockchain.

        d.  Allowed level of agentic AI interactions.  This parameter,
            which might be expressed in different ways, indicates how
            different agents are allowed to interact towards completion
            of the intended task.  For example, the requester may
            indicate that the agent receiving the request has to perform
            the required actions without interacting with other sensing
            agents, or without interacting with networking agents, or

Bernardos, et al.       Expires 3 September 2026               [Page 10]
Internet-Draft    Agentic AI with network optimization        March 2026

            which limitations to apply in regards of other agentic
            interactions (e.g., agent ownership limitations).  It also
            includes whether the involved agents are responsible for
            monitoring the sensing task to trigger alerts and propose
            reconfiguration actions if needed.  An example of a possible
            encoding of the allowed level of agentinf AI interaction is
            the following:

            0.  no delegation,

            1.  local AIaS may interact with local AIaN,

            2.  local AIaS may delegate/talk to other sensing nodes, but
                those cannot delegate it further,

            3.  local AIaS may delegate/talk to other sensing nodes,
                which can delegate it to N-2 levels.

        e.  Additional network requirements, such as energy consumption
            metrics.

        How an agent decides that additional sensing tasks need to be
        performed in order to honor/complete the received sensing task
        is out of the scope of this document.  It is up to the specific
        agents' implementation and the knowledge they have of the local
        context.

   4.   The receiving agents process the request, and similarly to what
        was done in the previous step, decide whether they need to do
        additional agent interactions (this can only happen if the
        received "allowed level of agentic AI interactions" is > 1, on
        each level the "allowed level of agentic AI interactions" is
        decreased by 1).  (Non-limiting) examples of these sub-tasks
        are:

        *  Perform an isolated sensing task targeting a specific goal
           (i.e., track an object in a given geographic area, with an
           intended accuracy, sensing technology and energy contraints).

        *  Configure the network and/or specific network elements to
           support a given connectivity level to transport the data
           generated by another agents.

        *  Find out which types of sensing, and with which level of
           trustworthiness/security/privacy are allowed to be used by
           certain nodes and/or in a given geographic area.

        *  Etc.

        Let's assume for the sake of this example, that the following
        actions are required:

        i.    AIaS@terminal#1 needs to interact with its local AI agent
              for Networking (AIaN@terminal#1) to ensure that the radio
              interface of terminal#1 is configured as required by the
              sensing task.

        ii.   AIaS@AN#1 needs to interact with its local AI agent for
              Networking@AN#1 to request a guaranteed communication path
              to the processing node#1.  As a result of this, AIaN@AN#1
              sends the required request to the networking control
              entity (in this example SMF/AMF), which then performs the
              required configuration.

        iii.  AIaS@processing-node#1 needs to interact with its local AI
              agent for Networking@processing-node#1 to request a
              guaranteed communication path to AN#1 and terminals #1 and
              #2.  As a result of this, AIaN@processing-node#1 sends the
              required request to the networking control entity (in this
              example SMF/AMF), which then performs the required
              configuration.

        Note that it might also be possible that the request for
        guaranteed communication paths (e.g., between the processing
        node #1 and terminals #1 and #2, could also be triggered by AI
        agents running on the terminals.

   5.   As a result of the requests (4b and 4c) for guaranteed
        communication paths to the AMF/SMF, the AMF/SMF performs the
        required configurations and responds back to the AI agents for
        networking (5b and 5c).

   6.   The AI agents for networking respond back to the AI agents for
        sensing, after completing their tasks.

   7.   Each involved AI agent that was tasked a given action responds
        back to the initiating AI agent.  In this example,
        AIaS@terminal#1, AIaS@terminal#2 and AIaS@processing-node#1
        responds to AIaS@AN#1, including the result of the operation.

Internet-Draft    Agentic AI with network optimization        March 2026

   8.   Once all the required configurations are completed, the initial
        agent (AIaS@AN#1) responds back to the SCF with a sensing task
        response, providing the result of the sensing task request
        (success/failure) and about the resulting sensing (and
        networking) configuration.  At this point, the distributed
        sensing task is ongoing.  This may also include information of
        the established Agent Network, e.g., a graph of agents and their
        capabilities.

   9.   SENSING and CONNECTIVITY MONITORING.  Depending on whether the
        agents were instructed to perform continuous monitoring or not,
        different options are possible:

        a.  Monitoring performed by the agents.  In this case, agents
            monitor the activity and local context for variations that,
            according to its previous training and knowledge, might
            require corrections.  If that is the case, the conducted
            actions are notified back to the SCF, through the chain of
            involved agents.  Examples of monitoring include: (i)
            Measuring (passively or actively) connectivity between
            sensing sources and processing node, (ii) Measuring
            estimated sensing precision, (iii) Measuring energy
            consumption associated with the sensing task.  The
            monitoring can include additional parameters, such as: (i)
            specific thresholds for each/some monitored parameters and
            associated actions if those threshold are passed, (ii)
            Frequency of monitoring.

        b.  Monitoring performed by the network.  In this case, "legacy"
            monitoring mechanisms are used, which might trigger
            reconfiguration actions (in a similar fashion to the initial
            sensing task request).
