The University of Oulu’s 6G Flagship program has released a new white paper titled “Large Language Models in the 6G-Enabled Computing Continuum,” which outlines how artificial intelligence will be integrated into future wireless networks. The paper identifies three key development areas: using AI to support network operations (AI for RAN), enabling AI-based applications that require mobile connectivity (AI with RAN), and adapting AI models to run directly on the radio access network (AI on RAN). Edited by Lauri Lovén and a team of forty-six researchers, the document addresses technical, regulatory, and security dimensions while envisioning a future where 6G facilitates human-to-AI and AI-to-AI communication by the early 2030s. This publication serves as a foundational vision for standardization, aiming to leverage large language models to enhance network efficiency and support massive data transmission requirements.
