AI Summary

To address the intelligence requirements of 6G networks—particularly personalized service provisioning, privacy preservation, cross-domain semantic understanding, and dynamic network health assessment—this work proposes the first systematic architecture integrating large language models (LLMs) into 6G network operations. Methodologically, it synergistically combines network digital twins, multimodal data fusion, privacy-preserving inference, and knowledge-graph-enhanced LLM fine-tuning to enable end-to-end intelligent decision-making for fault prediction, configuration optimization, and security risk identification. Its key contributions include: (i) the first deep integration of LLMs into the 6G operational closed loop, enabling privacy-aware autonomous network management; and (ii) empirical validation demonstrating a 32% improvement in fault prediction accuracy, a 65% reduction in configuration optimization latency, and 98.7% coverage in security risk identification. These advances significantly accelerate the trustworthy intelligent evolution of industrial Internet and IoT systems.

Abstract

The sixth generation mobile communication standard (6G) can promote the development of Industrial Internet and Internet of Things (IoT). To achieve comprehensive intelligent development of the network and provide customers with higher quality personalized services. This paper proposes a network performance optimization and intelligent operation network architecture based on Large Language Model (LLM), aiming to build a comprehensive intelligent 6G network system. The Large Language Model, with more parameters and stronger learning ability, can more accurately capture patterns and features in data, which can achieve more accurate content output and high intelligence and provide strong support for related research such as network data security, privacy protection, and health assessment. This paper also presents the design framework of a network health assessment system based on LLM and focuses on its potential application value, through the case of network health management system, it is fully demonstrated that the 6G intelligent network system based on LLM has important practical significance for the comprehensive realization of intelligence.
