Methods for Enabling AI-agent Discovery and Inter-AI-agent Communication for Next Generation Wireless Network

A method comprising:

• sending a registration request to a network, wherein the registration request indicates capability of a wireless transit/receive unit (WTRU) to support one or more artificial intelligence (AI) agents;
• receiving AI-agent anchor information from the network, wherein the AI-agent anchor information indicates an AI-agent anchor residing in the network;
• establishing a connection with the AI-agent anchor;
• sending a protocol data unit (PDU) session request via the connection to the AI-agent anchor using a WTRU-side AI-agent, wherein the PDU session request indicates a purpose of the connection and a reserved data network name (DNN) for the purpose;
• and
• receiving network-side AI-agent information corresponding to the PDU session request from a network-side AI-agent, wherein the network-side AI agent information comprises AI-agent ID or metadata associated with the network-side AI-agent.

A network entity comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive a registration request from a wireless transit/receive unit (WTRU), wherein the registration request indicates capability of the WTRU to support one or more artificial intelligence (AI) agents;
• send an AI-agent anchor information to the WTRU, wherein the AI-agent anchor information indicates an AI-agent residing in the network;
• receive a connection with the AI-agent anchor;
• receive a PDU session request from the WTRU via the connection to the AI-agent anchor using a WTRU-side AI-agent, wherein the PDU session request indicates a purpose of the connection and reserve a data network name (DNN) for the purpose;
• and
• send a network-side AI-agent information corresponding to the PDU session request to the WTRU from the network-side AI-agent, wherein the network-side AI agent information comprises AI-agent ID or metadata associated with the network-side AI-agent.
