This research addresses the latency limitations of Large Language Models in real-time robotic control by integrating them with Deep Reinforcement Learning for a hierarchical UAV navigation system. The proposed framework leverages cloud-based LLMs for strategic global load balancing while using edge-LLMs to generate tactical sub-goals that guide fast-timescale physical controllers, effectively bridging semantic reasoning with aerodynamic execution. Simulation results indicate this agentic architecture significantly reduces collision rates and enhances throughput in dynamic Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks compared to existing baselines.
Intelligent Multi-UAV Navigation in ITNTNs: A Hierarchical LLM Approach
arXiv:2607.18604v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deployment of high-speed Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in 3D aerial highways necessitates robust coordination of physical flight kinematics and multi-tier network handovers. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) offers rapid tactical control, it lacks the zero-shot strategic reasoning required to quickly adapt to dynamic Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks (ITNTNs). Conversely, Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at semantic reasoning but suffer from high inference latency, rendering them unsuitable for real-time aerodynamic control. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel Hierarchical LLM-driven control framework. A massive cloud-based LLM deployed on a High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) manages slow-timescale global load balancing, while lightweight edge-LLMs on individual UAVs translate local observations into tactical sub-goals. These sub-goals guide a fast-timescale physical DRL controller to execute collision-free, handover-aware trajectories. Simulation results demonstrate that our agentic architecture significantly reduces collision rates and improves aggregate system throughput compared to existing baselines.
