🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the challenge of belief divergence and coordination failure among heterogeneous autonomous agents in 6G networks, stemming from disparities in their reasoning processes. To this end, the paper proposes a reasoning-native agent communication paradigm that shifts the objective of communication from mere information transmission to belief alignment. By dynamically triggering communication based on predicted belief discrepancies, the framework establishes a coordination plane grounded in shared knowledge structures and bounded belief modeling, wherein communication acts as a regulatory mechanism for distributed reasoning. This approach extends the traditional protocol stack by achieving, for the first time, deep integration between communication and reasoning. Experimental results in representative multi-agent scenarios demonstrate a significant reduction in coordination failure risk and effective maintenance of system-wide behavioral consistency.

📝 Abstract
Future 6G networks will interconnect not only devices, but autonomous machines that continuously sense, reason, and act. In such environments, communication can no longer be understood solely as delivering bits or even preserving semantic meaning. Even when two agents interpret the same information correctly, they may still behave inconsistently if their internal reasoning processes evolve differently. We refer to this emerging challenge as belief divergence. This article introduces reasoning native agentic communication, a new paradigm in which communication is explicitly designed to address belief divergence rather than merely transmitting representations. Instead of triggering transmissions based only on channel conditions or data relevance, the proposed framework activates communication according to predicted misalignment in agents internal belief states. We present a reasoning native architecture that augments the conventional communication stack with a coordination plane grounded in a shared knowledge structure and bounded belief modeling. Through enabling mechanisms and representative multi agent scenarios, we illustrate how such an approach can prevent coordination drift and maintain coherent behavior across heterogeneous systems. By reframing communication as a regulator of distributed reasoning, reasoning native agentic communication enables 6G networks to act as an active harmonizer of autonomous intelligence.
