Workshop Overview

The Wireless Innovation Forum, a leading international organization driving the future of radio communications and spectrum sharing technologies since 1996, invites researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and academics to submit original research papers for a groundbreaking multi-committee workshop on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Agentic AI Systems in Advanced Wireless Communications and Spectrum Management.

This workshop represents a unique convergence of the Forum's four major technical committees: the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) Committee, the Software Defined Systems (SDS) Committee, the 6GHz Committee, and the Wireless Innovation Committee (WInnCmte). Together, these committees encompass the full spectrum of modern wireless innovation, from dynamic spectrum sharing and software-defined radio architectures to next-generation 6G technologies and emerging applications.

As the wireless industry stands at the threshold of technological transformation, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into wireless communications systems has emerged as a critical enabler for addressing the growing complexity of spectrum management, network optimization, and service delivery.

The advent of agentic AI systems—autonomous agents capable of independent decision-making, learning, and adaptation—promises to revolutionize how wireless networks operate, manage resources, and respond to dynamic conditions.

This workshop will bring together the global wireless community to explore, discuss, and advance the state-of-the-art in AI-enabled wireless technologies across all domains of the Forum's technical expertise. We seek contributions that demonstrate innovative applications of AI/ML and agentic AI systems in spectrum sharing, software-defined radio architectures, automated frequency coordination, dynamic network management, and emerging wireless technologies.
