  • Future communication networks are expected to achieve deep integration of communication, sensing, and computation, forming a tightly coupled and autonomously operating infrastructure system. However, current reliance on centralized control, static design, and human intervention continues to constrain the multidimensional evolution of network functions and applications, limiting adaptability and resilience in large-scale, layered, and complex environments. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a nature-inspired architectural framework that leverages digital twin technology to organize connected devices at the edge infrastructure into functional digital populations, while enabling the emergence of an evolvable digital ecosystem through multi-population integration at the cloud. We believe that this framework, which combines engineering methodologies with sociotechnical insights, lays the theoretical foundation for building next-generation communication networks with dynamic coordination, distributed decision-making, continuous adaptation, and evolutionary capabilities.

Spatial Intelligence for Wireless Ecosystems: From Perception to Decision Making

This topic introduces an AI‑driven framework for sensing, localization, and modeling that converts signals, mobility data, and digital twins into decisions for 6G and beyond. It focuses on real‑time reasoning in dynamic scenarios like smart cities, enabling adaptive resource use, network planning, and autonomous optimization. Key interests include foundation models, generative world models, and integrated sensing‑communication for intelligent network management.
