Large Multi-Modal Models (LMMs) as Universal Foundation Models for AI-Native Wireless Systems

no code implementations30 Jan 2024 Shengzhe Xu, Christo Kurisummoottil Thomas, Omar Hashash, Nikhil Muralidhar, Walid Saad, Naren Ramakrishnan

Diverging from NLP-based foundation models, the proposed framework promotes the design of large multi-modal models (LMMs) fostered by three key capabilities: 1) processing of multi-modal sensing data, 2) grounding of physical symbol representations in real-world wireless systems using causal reasoning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and 3) enabling instructibility from the wireless environment feedback to facilitate dynamic network adaptation thanks to logical and mathematical reasoning facilitated by neuro-symbolic AI.
