    NetConfArena: An Executable Benchmark for LLM Agents in Closed-Loop Network Configuration

    Chang Liu, Xiaohui Xie, Xinyi Chen, Yong Cui

    cs.NI · cs.AI

    Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly attractive for automating network configuration, yet their reliability and failure patterns are poorly understood. An essential prerequisite is to assess such agents in a realistic but risk-free environment. Existing benchmarks, however, fall short: they often treat configuration as static command generation or rely on overly simplified settings. Such evaluations understate the core...

    Channel-Token Attention for Reliable Dynamic Spectrum Access under Bursty Primary-User Traffic

    Krishna Acharya, Dinanath Padhya, Utsab Dahal, Ashish Kandel, Binod Sapkota

    cs.NI · cs.LG · eess.SP

    Dynamic spectrum access must coordinate secondary users under bursty primary-user activity while preserving packet reliability and delay. We present TACAN, a centralized policy that represents each channel as a token containing occupancy history and automatic-modulation-classification entropy; a context token supplies queue class, delay and user identity. A Transformer encoder is warm-started from an occupancy-greedy policy and refined with...
