Title: The 6G RAN to Support the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) Based Applications

Abstract: With the rise of ChatGPT as a machine learning technology, the radio access networks (RAN) may be redesigned for the emerging 6G systems. Hence in this talk, we present the principles of partitioning the ultra-large Generative Pre-trained Transformer based computing into a distributed computing and distributed networking architecture. The goal is to optimize the computing resources and connectivity resources to increase the capacity, when delivering ChatGPT-type services.

In this talk, we also discuss the Generative Pre-trained Transformer created from the 6G radio in the context of joint sensing and communications (JSAC), of the multi-user human-in-the-loop joint reward model and of the network based on sophisticated joint Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). Our new distributed RAN architecture can ensure the alignment of the ChatGPT services to comply with human values and ethical norms
